need single header file for boost::shared_ptr

Question

Boost::shared_ptr is really great. But using it you need lots of header file. Is thare any single header file available that will provide shared_ptr functionality?

somewhat urgent.

Answer 1

If you want to avoid having all the boost header files although you use shared_ptr only, you can extract the shared_ptr with BCP:

It won't give you a single header file, though, but I doubt that this would give you any noticeable advantage.
