No, what I was trying to convey is you have the T type inside enabled_shared_from_this<T>. To be clear:
template<typename T> enable_shared_from_this { shared_ptr<T> shared_from_this(T *t); //... };
Ah, I see.
Also, there is no reason not to add a simple helper free function:
template<typename T> shared_ptr<T> shared_from_this(T *t) { return t->shared_from_this(t); }
which would provide some convenience and a sanity check for the common case usage.
And as Peter suggested, this could be the only public interface. I really like that idea and direction. :) Although it's a breaking change, it seems cleaner and more powerful to me. Peter, what's your point of view on this type of breaking change to enable_shared_from_this' interface? Do you seriously consider it? Regards, Daniel
