I do know that, and as many GCC developers I am grateful to you Ian for your big work.

However, I don't know very well auto_ptr.  Could you explain to use how do they deal with
*circular* memory references.... (perhaps by taking as examples code inside GCC).
My feeling is that auto_ptr is not able to deal with them, but I'll be delighted to be
proven wrong. 


Cheers.
