关于scoped_ptr的笔记

1. 假设要声明一个scoped_ptr<Netflow>的变量，那么Netflow必须是一个complete type，这一点和定义普通指针Netflow *不同。所以使用scoped_ptr时，一般要include相应类的header file（#include "netflow.h"），而不能只靠forward declaration（class Netflow;）。具体原因和一种特殊情况见http://stackoverflow.com/questions/500656/c-using-scoped-ptr-as-a-member-variable Johannes Schaub的回帖 。下面是如果Netflow是incomplete type时，定义scoped_ptr<Netflow>时的g++编译错误信息：
