Should we prefer vector> or boost::ptr_vector

Question

Now with C++11, should we prefer vector<unique_ptr<>> or boost::ptr_vector to store pointer's to objects if we want managed memory?

I'd suggest ptr_vector because it's a bit simpler conceptually and probably slightly more efficient. Then again, it all depends on use cases — sehe, May 26 '14 at 14:24

I would suggest vector<unique_ptr<>> as it is supported by compiler. no extra effect. otherwise, boost need your import into your project.
