Going to C++11: standard smart pointers
Welcome back.
As I mentioned in last post, I’m doing an experiment where I’m migrating our C++03 code to C++11. One obvious step would be to use the smart pointers now available in the standard library. How can we do it while keeping backward compatibility and not breaking client code, though?

Going to C++11: an experiment
Greetings.
Let’s say you have a few hundred thousand lines of code being regularly updated. Let’s also say you have at least a few hundred users, maybe more, some of which use your code for their work and expect backwards compatibility when updating to new versions. Finally, let’s say that your code still uses the C++03 standard and you’re kind of itching to move to modern C++. In short, you’re in the same position we are with QuantLib. Should you do the move, and if so, how?
