Since you're not calling shared_from_this() in A, I suggest you remove enable_shared_from_this<A> altogether. But in my case there is no option like this (Class A is a base library class). So I have to do this. void f(void) { cout << "this is working " << boost::enable_shared_from_this<B>::shared_from_this() << endl; } }; You create an empty enable_shared_from_this<B>, then call shared_from_this() on that one which is of course empty. I did the above to avoid the ambiguous call error So how can I specify that i am calling the shared_from_this() in class B....?

You create an empty enable_shared_from_this<B>, then call shared_from_this() on that one which is of course empty. Intended usage is
class B : public A, public boost::enable_shared_from_this<B> { public: B() {} virtual ~B() {}
void f(void) { cout << "this is working " << shared_from_this() << endl; // ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ } };
This is not the only error though, Since you're deriving from enable_shared_from_this two times, the above will give an ambiguous call error (did you mean enable_shared_from_this<A> or enable_shared_from_this<B>).
Since you're not calling shared_from_this() in A, I suggest you remove enable_shared_from_this<A> altogether.
