So I used covariant return type, which AFAIK works only for raw
pointers. If I were to remove the raw pointer accessors, I'd have to
do either:
I would probably use a non-member template that
encapsulates the necessary logic:
template<class T>
shared_ptr<typename T::IdentType> getIdent(T& t);
That's great, this didn't occur to me. Thanks again, --DD
