Hi, I am facing a problem while making the raw pointer to an intrusive_ptr inside a map whose pointer is already an intrusive pointer so typedef goes like: typedef boost::intrusive_ptr< protocolLibraryLoader> ProtocolLibraryLoaderPtr; typedef std::pair<ProtocolLibraryLoaderPtr, ProtocolRecognizer_type*> ProtocolLibEnginePair; typedef boost::intrusive_ptr<ProtocolLibEnginePair> ProtocolLibEnginePairPtr; Now inside code when I try creating map and assign with ptr as given in below: .. *boost::intrusive_ptr<protocolLibraryLoader> libraryLoader = getProtoLoader();* .. m_activeRecEnginePtr = ProtocolLibEnginePairPtr(libraryLoader,newRecognizer); .. I get the following error: ProtocolManager.cpp: In member function 'void ProtocolManager::InitializeProtocolsLibrary(ProtocolManager*)': ProtocolManager.cpp:234: error: no matching function for call to 'boost::intrusive_ptr<std::pair<boost::intrusive_ptr<protocolLibraryLoader>, ProtocolRecognizer_type*>
::intrusive_ptr(boost::intrusive_ptr<protocolLibraryLoader>&, ProtocolRecognizer_type*&)'

::intrusive_ptr(boost::intrusive_ptr<protocolLibraryLoader>&, ProtocolRecognizer_type*&)'
I wonder if it is kind of limitation or do I have to do something else to achieve? Actually I am dealing with legacy code so I don't want to remove the intrusiveness on the pair which actually increases/decreases ref_count of ProtocolRecognizer_type and not on protocolLibraryLoader. Please help me as I am kind of stuck with this. Thanks Shri
