Which kind of smart pointer, with which kind of footgun? I mean, it's better than not even trying I guess, but if it was actually a full solution you'd just have Rust.

You’re right. It’s a stop gap, but when you’re talking about a code base that has been maintained for 20 years plus you can’t really sell re-implementation.

Most recently it was with an older version of C++ using shared pointers.
