OpenFOAM smart pointers and Dependency Injection
 
Hello,

Dr. Tomislav Maric told me to understand OpenFOAM smart pointers thoroughly. I know that auto_ptr and tmp are the two smart pointers often used. I would like to know if a main purpose of an OpenFoam smart pointer is to control coupling by dependency injection.

The main purpose is actually memory management, memory reuse and avoiding copying etc.
