you might not find a reason for using a std::string pointer at all. std::string has dynamic management of internal buffer and reference counting. you won't get a benefit when using pointers rather than objects.<br />

Is there any difference betwwen the following declaration<br />
<br />
std::string *myStr<br />
<br />
str::auto_ptr&lt;std::string&gt;<wbr /> myStr;<br />
<br />
Do I have to delete/destory any of these objects or does the compile takes care of it?

auto_ptr

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
