+# make_local_shared: Creating local_shared_ptr
+:toc:
+:toc-title:
+:idprefix: make_local_shared_
+
+## Description
+
+The function templates `make_local_shared` and `allocate_local_shared` provide
+convenient, safe and efficient ways to create `local_shared_ptr` objects. They
+are analogous to `make_shared` and `allocate_shared` for `shared_ptr`.
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`make_local_shared` and `allocate_local_shared` are defined in
+`<boost/smart_ptr/make_local_shared.hpp>`.
+
+[subs=+quotes]
+```
+namespace boost {
+  `// only if T is not an array type`
+  template<class T, class... Args>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> make_local_shared(Args&&... args);
+  template<class T, class A, class... Args>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> allocate_local_shared(const A& a, Args&&... args);
+
+  `// only if T is an array type of the form U[]`
+  template<class T>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> make_local_shared(std::size_t n);
+  template<class T, class A>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> allocate_local_shared(const A& a, std::size_t n);
+
+  `// only if T is an array type of the form U[N]`
+  template<class T>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> make_local_shared();
+  template<class T, class A>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> allocate_local_shared(const A& a);
+
+  `// only if T is an array type of the form U[]`
+  template<class T>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> make_local_shared(std::size_t n,
+      const remove_extent_t<T>& v);
+  template<class T, class A>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> allocate_local_shared(const A& a, std::size_t n,
+      const remove_extent_t<T>& v);
+
+  `// only if T is an array type of the form U[N]`
+  template<class T>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> make_local_shared(const remove_extent_t<T>& v);
+  template<class T, class A>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> allocate_local_shared(const A& a,
+      const remove_extent_t<T>& v);
+
+  `// only if T is not an array type of the form U[]`
+  template<class T>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> make_local_shared_noinit();
+  template<class T, class A>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> allocate_local_shared_noinit(const A& a);
+
+  `// only if T is an array type of the form U[N]`
+  template<class T>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> make_local_shared_noinit(std::size_t n);
+  template<class T, class A>
+    local_shared_ptr<T> allocate_local_shared_noinit(const A& a,
+      std::size_t n);
+}
+```
+
+## Description
+
+The requirements and effects of these functions are the same as `make_shared`
+and `allocate_shared`, except that a `local_shared_ptr` is returned.
