We've recently been evaluating a move from boost 1.38 to 1.42 [MSVC71], and we had some code that breaks down to the following:
[1] struct T {}; [2] std::auto_ptr<T> ap; [3] boost::shared_ptr<T> sp = ap;
Line [3] stopped compiling because of the 'explicit' introduced (in shared_ptr.hpp) at line [L] (below).
