are the boost ptr containers exception safe?

[Peter]

boost:tr_vector<animal> vec;
vec.push_back( new animal );

What does happen if push_back() fails -- do I have a leak?

 

[Victor Bazarov]

boost:tr_vector<animal> vec;
vec.push_back( new animal );

What does happen if push_back() fails -- do I have a leak?

Did you know that Boost has its own discussion forums?

No leak.

All Boost libraries are designed exception safe (modulo bugs).

No leak.

All Boost libraries are designed exception safe (modulo bugs).

To be more precise, wrt to exception-safety (as defined in
http://www.boost.org/more/generic_exception_safety.html) the function
provides the basic guarantee but not the strong guarantee.
