[Boost-users] Boost.Variant: char[], a bool or std::string ?

If I instantiate a Boost.Variant templated on a bool and a std::string , then I get the following behaviour ... not sure why 
 
 
#include <string>
#include <Boost/Variant.hpp>
 
typedef boost::variant< bool,std::string> BoostVariant; 
 
int main () { 
           BoostVariant    v("A String"); 
           bool     &Bref ( boost::get<bool &>(v)) ;                                   // this is ok 
            std::string     &Sref ( boost::get<std::string> &(v) ) ;                 // but this throws 
            return 0; 
} 
 
Is this what is supposed to happen ?
