I use boost::any for sending data to my thread's command queue, and I need to send a shared_ptr in. I'm looking for any one to tell me this is fine or bad. Based on my understanding of boost::any I think it will be fine, but I'm slightly concerned I'll screw up the reference count somehow.

Can anyone confirm or allay my fears?
