[Boost-users] passing a shared pointer

9 Jun 2010

      Hi,

I have a shared pointer like this

class a
{
};

boost::shared_ptr<a> Ptr(new a());

I need to pass this pointer as an argument to function (MyFunc) which access this as a reference

void MyFunc(a& ref)
{
}

Now I am calling the function like this

MyFunc(*Ptr);

But this causes the "Ptr" to destroy early (I am using this for an asynchronous-ASIO- operation)

How can I do this right?

Thanks a lot,
  Lloyd
