Hi!

Don't know, if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find an answer to this 
question:

Is there a common sense about how a shared_ptr<> should be passed to 
functions/methods: by-value or by-(const-)reference?

    1) void test(boost::shared_ptr<A> a);
    2) void test(boost::shared_ptr<A>& const a);
