[Moderator's note: The only apparent connection this message has to Boost is in the subject line. I am approving it on the assumption that the missing declarations for ParentPtr and DerivedPtr are typedefs using boost::shared_ptr.]
Hello everyone...
I am attempting to do the following:
class Parent
{
public:
int m_value;
};
class Derived : public Parent
{
};
void Fn(ParentPtr& pObj)
{
pObj = ParentPtr(new Parent());
pObj->m_value = 10;
}
int main()
{
ParentPtr pParent;
DerivedPtr pDerived;
Fn(pDerived);
return 0;
}
If I pass the parent pointer, it compiles and works fine. If I pass
the derived pointer I get:
error C2664: 'Fn' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'DerivedPtr'
to 'ParentPtr &'
Does anyone know how to solve my problem?
TIA,
Drew
