Re: [Boost-Users] Problem using 'shared_ptr<T>::operator impl-defined-type()'

From: "Hickman, Greg"

With Borland 5.5.1, I'm not having any luck using a shared_ptr in a boolean context. The compiler complains that the 'if' condition below contains an "Illegal structure operation". Is this a known deficiency with my compiler?

Yes, Borland does have trouble with this construct (i.e. p && q fails), but simple uses such as your program work for me; once again, have you installed the service packs? :-)
