Hi Drew,
You should probably add:
void Fn(DerivedPtr& pObj) { pObj = DerivedPtr(new Derived()); pObj->m_value = 10; }
since having a DerivedPtr (or a Derived* for that matter) point to an instance of Base is generally a bad idea. Consider what would happen if you called pDerived->method_only_in_derived().

[Moderator's note: The only apparent connection this message has to Boost is in the subject line. I am approving it on the assumption
To be a little more detailed, here is what I am trying to accomplish: typedef boost::shared_ptr<CBase> BasePtr; typedef boost::shared_ptr<CDerived> DerivedPtr; AddObject(pBase); // works AddObject(pDerived); // does not work void AddObject(BasePtr& pObj) { std::vector<BasePtr>::iterator pos = find(myList.begin(), myList.end(), 5); if (pos != myList.end()) { pObj= *pos; } else { myList.push_back(pObj); } } error C2664: 'Fn' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'DerivedPtr' to 'ParentPtr &' A reference that is not to 'const' cannot be bound to a non-lvalue However, AddObject(base); // works AddObject(derived); // works void AddObject(CBase& base) { } This is a generic function that adds an element if it does not exist. Why when I use a shared_ptr does this not work? I dont want a specific lookup for all of my objects.

Hello everyone...
I am attempting to do the following:
class Parent { public: int m_value; };
class Derived : public Parent { };
void Fn(ParentPtr& pObj) { pObj = ParentPtr(new Parent()); pObj->m_value = 10; }
int main() { ParentPtr pParent; DerivedPtr pDerived;
Fn(pDerived);
return 0; }
If I pass the parent pointer, it compiles and works fine. If I
pass
the derived pointer I get:
error C2664: 'Fn' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'DerivedPtr' to 'ParentPtr &' A reference that is not to 'const' cannot be bound to a non-lvalue Does anyone know how to solve my problem?
TIA, Drew
