Hi,
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/81780 " Use explicit 
operator bool when available; ..." introduces a breaking change on 
shared_ptr in Boost.Thread and Boost.Test at least.
What code does it break?
Code like
bool thread::joinable() const BOOST_NOEXCEPT
{
   return get_thread_info(); // COMPILE ERROR
}

which I have replaced by

bool thread::joinable() const BOOST_NOEXCEPT
{
   return get_thread_info()!=0;
}

Is there a better way?

Best,
Vicente
