Re: [boost] shared_ptr to self while in constructor

Hello all,

A direct call to shared_from_this() does not work in a constructor. Is there any way that I may obtain a shared_ptr to myself while under construction?

In short, no. You don't know which deleter to use. But can't you use a static create function as explained here: http://boost.org/libs/smart_ptr/sp_techniques.html#in_constructor
