ref.hpp was supposed to be the solution to your problem, but it isn't yet. 
It's more like a cue to other function object libraries (Bind, Lambda, 
Function) to keep a reference. You can use:

std::generate_n (ostream_iterator<int> (cout, " "), 10, 
                         boost::bind<int>(boost::ref(c)));
