Description Tommaso Pecorella 2014-01-16 03:41:15 UTC

This thread found a problem with FlowMonitorHelper.
If it is copied (by passing it to a function), all the internals will get messed up, which is not a good idea.

The solution is to forbid copy constructors, so the user will have to think twice (and use pointers).
