I think the answer is not necessarily as simple as that. If you can avoid using pointers at all that is often even better. And when people recommend smart pointers I think they mean std::unique_ptr 99% of the time.

Dear seeplus
Thank you for your supporting message about the fact.
Dear Peter87
As mentioned by seeplus, the original post was removed.
The original was elememtary question about new/delete memory management and omission of delete statement.
I agree with you, because smart pointer is not a perfect solution for memory leak and has unique problems.

Ah, that explains it. It has been a while since I used this site so I had forgotten it could be like that sometimes.
