Could you please add more context to your question, such as some brief code example. A C++ pointer by itself will not have data members, if that is what "px and pn in a pointer" is referring to.

Solution 1

A boost smart pointer (like any other smart pointer) is a class.
px and pn are it's data member, whose meaning depends on the implementation.

As far as I now, one of it is a pointer to the pointed object, the other is a pointer to an helper structure containing the reference counters an the destroy method.
