Comment:

 My copy of the C99 standard (n869) says about "%p":

 p       The argument shall be a pointer to void. The value of the pointer
 is converted to a sequence of printing characters, in an implementation-
 defined manner.

 Given that, I don't see any way that Boost.Format can "match what printf
 prints".
