boost/signals2/deconstruct_ptr.hpp

// DEPRECATED in favor of adl_postconstruct and adl_predestruct with
// deconstruct<T>().
// A factory function for creating a shared_ptr that enhances the plain
// shared_ptr constructors by adding support for postconstructors
// and predestructors through the boost::signals2::postconstructible and
// boost::signals2::predestructible base classes.
