The last statement below fails to compile with boost 1.39.0 on MSVC 8.
Am I doing anything obviously wrong? Any help is appreciated.

boost::bind(&boost::make_shared<Y, int&>, boost::ref(i));
Under C++03 compilers, make_shared takes its arguments by const reference:
template<class T, class A1>
   shared_ptr<T> make_shared( A1 const & a1 );
MSVC doesn't like the A1=int& case because it forms the questionably 
valid "int& const&".
boost::bind(
   &boost::make_shared<Y, boost::reference_wrapper<int> >,
   boost::ref(i) );
works though. This is what make_shared<Y>( ref(i) ) would instantiate.
Ah, thanks Peter!
