Hello,

Is the following code legal and safe -
a) according to the shared_ptr specs
b) with the current boost::shared_ptr implementation

Thanks!

struct a
{
  a() : p_(this, mem_fn(&a::delete_me))
  {}
  void reset()
  {
    p_.reset();
  }
  void delete_me()
  {
    delete this;
  }

  shared_ptr<a> p_;
};

int main()
{
  a* p = new a;
  p->reset();
}
