Re: RE:[ROOT] reset method missing in auto_ptr

Hi Masa,

I looked in more detail at the STL implementation provided by CINT in ROOT
2.24.05 and I noticed several discrepancies between the current
implementation and the STL sectrion of the Standard C++ Library.  I wonder
if it wouldn't be less work for you, and at the same time more helpful for
ROOT/CINT users, if CINT were to use/incorporate the current SGI STL
implementation, and to subsequently track this implementation.

As you are probably aware, the SGI STL implementation has been, and in many
cases still is, used by many, if not most, Standad C++ library vendors as
the defacto reference implementaion for the "STL" section of the Standard
C++ Library.

Would this proposal be possible to consider?  It would sure be nice for us
generic programmers :-)

Regards, Matt
