I've been using my smart pointers and debugging with GDB without too 
much problems.  The namespaces actually generate more problems than the 
smart pointers!

Three cheers for symbiotic open source.

While I am a major fan of garbage collection (I was on the Smalltalk 
team at Apple, and have worked on several other garbage collectors 
after that), it would be a show-stopper for our use of Antlr:  Our 
environment is memory sensitive.

I'll be here.
