Re: [boost] [smart_ptr/static_pointer_cast] Trying to make ADL useful in my boost libraries

...

Too late... I've already posted in c.s.c++ ;-) Not being an expert, I think that gcc approach is quite limiting. If gcc's approach is considered correct, I think that we would need to invent a mechanism to make pointer casts compatible with ADL.

Fwiw, my money is on gcc. It agrees with both CodeWarrior and EDG. But I'm anxiously awaiting confirmation on c.s.c++ too. :-)

If Codewarrior/EDG/gcc team wins, maybe the committee will be condemned to write new ADL friendly casting functions for shared_ptr<>, so be careful what you whish for... ;-) Regards, Ion
