Re: [boost] shared_ptr and pointer to function

I wonder if shared_ptr can hold a pointer to a function.

Yes, it can.

I've just tried the following program:

#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> using namespace boost;

int main() { extern int* object; boost::shared_ptr<int> p(object);

extern void (*function)(); boost::shared_ptr<void ()> p2(function);

return 0; }

The first initialization, of course, work. The second produces a lots of errors. Do I miss something obvious?

"Requires: the expression 'delete p' shall be well-formed and its behavior defined." Try a null deleter.
