[boost] Re: [Boost-bugs] [ boost-Bugs-1059388 ] shared_ptr::operator->() const return type should be const

I think you're wront about this, shared_ptr should behave just like a pointer (in this aspect). it really doesn't matter if the pointer is const or not, what matters is the constness of the pointee.

typedef int* pint_t;

const pint_t p = new int(1); //p is const(same as int * const) int &ref_to_int = *p; //but *p isn't
