Makes sense. That’s the part that confused me about your compiler explorer version, where you don’t provide an implementation of the specialization either (or I’m blind).

Adding the implementation (and exporting it) works.

Does anyone remember? If it's no longer an issue, is pinning the smart pointer dtor the way we want to go? How to make it into a public API so that it's not just a Qt-specific trick? (After all, the smart pointers in question have public APIs)


Thanks for doing the archeology Giuseppe.

I think for the QPixmap case we can live with the duplicated implementation.
