[boost] shared_ptr and pointer to function

24 Aug 2004

      I wonder if shared_ptr can hold a pointer to a function. I've just tried the 
following program:

   #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
   using namespace boost;

   int main()
   {
        extern int* object;
        boost::shared_ptr<int> p(object);

        extern void (*function)();
        boost::shared_ptr<void ()> p2(function);

        return 0;
   }

The first initialization, of course, work. The second produces a lots of 
errors. Do I miss something obvious?

TIA,
Volodya
