question about boost::scoped_ptr

[kathy]

I have code:

boost::scoped_ptr< CSpectrograph > m_pSpectrograph;

....
m_pSpectrograph.reset( new CSpectrograph(init_data) );
....

But I found the CSpectrograph destructor never been called. What is
wrong?

m_pSpectrograph.reset( new CSpectrograph(init_data) );

Why not use boost::shared_ptr? The first thing I did when installing boost
was write a test case demonstrating that boost::shared_ptr calls a
destructor.

BTW you have better odds of good answers on the Boost-User mailing list.
Fewer of us Boost here than there ;-)

Are you saying m_pSpectrograph has gone out of scope, and it's managed
CSpectrograph instance has not been destructed?
