Where exactly did I claim that 'using boost will solve ALL your memory problems'? You're the one making generic statements.

I said that not using boost because you're worried about introducing a dependency is a poor justification for risking easy-to-make mistakes with bald pointers. Believe me I've seen it. This is not 1998. We have better tools now. You're using Qt. You have QSharedPointer at least. Use it.

Again WHERE did I make such a claim?

Oh very clever. How about less obvious problems like double deletes or references (&) to deleted objects passed to other functions, errors that some big compilers will not catch. Or implementing command-pattern classes where you cannot control the ownership of object lifetimes or have to treat every assignment with suspicion?
