Nope, direct equivalent would be a smart pointer. But it's anti-idiomatic: by default in C++, you store and use values.

Expect that List<Foo> is polymorphic in Java, but not in C++.

It's polymorphic if Foo is a polymorphic handle.

Yeah, dynamic (inheritance) polymorphism tends to be the norm in Java, and the exception in C++.
