I reached what I needed, but I have some bad feeling about how it works. It does not look sane, boost::shared_from_raw(this) class is there only to produce the desired side effect.

You could just not use weak_from_raw at all. You can initialize your weak_ptr from the shared_ptr returned by shared_from_raw. -- Frank
