 I would expect the following to compile:

 {{{
 #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
 #include <boost/shared_array.hpp>

 int main()
 {
     boost::shared_ptr<int>   p1(NULL);
     boost::shared_ptr<int[]> p2(NULL);
     boost::shared_array<int> p3(NULL);      // ERROR
 #if __cplusplus >= 201103L
     boost::shared_ptr<int>   p4(nullptr);
     boost::shared_ptr<int[]> p5(nullptr);
     boost::shared_array<int> p6(nullptr);   // ERROR
 #endif
 }
 }}}

 With Boost 1.47 the shared_array initializations did compile with NULL and
 nullptr.
