Re: [Boost-users] [Boost users] [interprocess]: static_pointer_cast on offset_ptr

You can theoretically use reinterpret_cast to do that.  However, you
should be warned that void * hacks are extremely dangerous, and in poor
taste.  You should be better off, and much much safer, using templates
instead.

The static pointer cast may be commented out for that very reason :)
