you misunderstand....I was answering a prior question posted by bringiton asking how to diagnose the specific source code location of such errors when compiled using vc++ 8... not a question regarding whether or not such code is in error... My posting was an example confirming for bringiton that the error output produced by vc++ 8 specifically also referenced the module/line number that attempted to instantiate the shared_ptr template, rather than just the error location inside the shared_ptr header. Although I am now regretting posting.... ;) regards, Andrew

When compiling the following line in a file example.cpp;

boost::shared_ptr<int> p(new std::string)

you would have error from any compiler, because this code is illformed. There is no conversion from std::string* to int* .
