Re: [Boost-users] [shared_ptr] operator->*

Dear all,

I just typed something like this:

void Foo(void (I::*pmf)()) { boost::shared_ptr<I> ptr(new I); (ptr->*pmf)(); }

but this does not compile. Is there are rationale behind this? I have no experience in ovelroading operator->*, so maybe this question arises from ignorance.

It appears that operator->* is not overloaded for shared_ptr. You can achieve the same thing by doing: ((*ptr).*pmf)(); David
