Re: [boost] [smart_ptr] poly casts

Hello,

It seems that the polymorphic casts are deprecated without replacement with the new *_pointer_cast style. Why?

Because the new casts are in TR1 and the polymorphic casts aren't. So if you care about portability between boost::shared_ptr and std::tr1::shared_ptr, you should stick to the new casts only.
