shared_ptr and address_of
Is there any reason address_of is not defined for shared_ptr, scoped_ptr etc.? Thanks -Thorsten -- Thorsten Ottosen ---------------------------- www.dezide.com www.cs.aau.dk/index2.php?content=Research/bss www.boost.org www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/

I've no idea what you mean, sorry. addressof(x) is an alias for &x that works in the presence of overloaded operator& and is defined for every object type. It should probably also support function types, but the current implementation does not.

I haven't yet convinced me if I need it ot not so I can cast from void* to T*. Anyway, thanks. -Thorsten

well, currently I have to do
