I should point out that I went 'back' to get() because I got tired of
explaining the 'correct' way [ie, if( b ) ] Darin Adler provided in his
answer.

>From the docs:
<snippet>
get

T * get() const; // never throws
Returns: the stored pointer.

Throws: nothing.
</snippet>

Therefore you can use
      if( b.get() )
or
      if( b.get() == NULL )

testing if shared_ptr has been assigned

I need some help in testing for the condition of whether a shared_ptr has
been assigned. In the following example, the "if( b != NULL ) does not
work. How would I do this test?

typedef boost::shared_ptr<int> IPtr;

int i( 0 );
IPtr a( i );
IPtr b;

if( some condition )
             b = a;

if( b != NULL ) { // How should this really be coded?
}

Best Regards,

Steve
