code for boost shared safe pointer

[pauldepstein]

struct AStructIDontUnderstand
{
template < typename T >
void operator() ( T* ) {}
};


I have been unable to understand the purpose of the above code. As I
understand it, it is used to handle boost shared safe pointers and is
a "deallocation function"

I would be grateful if someone could enlighten me at an elementary
level.

Thank you very much for your help.
