Shared pointer in single-threaded application?

[wicked crest]

Is there an alternative to std::shared_ptr without the thread-safety of the ref counting?

Background: when having, for example, a graph of 10k nodes that can point to each other in arbitrary ways in a single-threaded application, the use of std::shared_ptr seems to entail unnecessary overhead due to the thread safety.

the atomic counting is cheap

So there isn't an alternative in the standard library?

built in? dont believe so, but you could make your own pretty simply or just copy paste from an existing implementation but remove the atomic part of the ref counting. but i seriously dont think you would see any worthwile performance benefits in removing that detail
