The first initialization, of course, work. The second produces a lots of
errors. Do I miss something obvious?
Just to clarify: my original intention is to use shared_ptr to a function 
together with a custom deleter. I don't really think the above could compile.
But when I add:

struct null_deleter
    {
        template<class T>
        void operator()(T) const
        {
        }
    };

and change the code to be

   boost::shared_ptr<void ()> p2(function, null_deleter())

I still get errors.

The complete example with the custom deleter is attached.
