Are shared_ptr binary compatible through boost versions?

Example:

Imagine a "Producer" class that sends shared_ptr to a "Consumer" class. Now
imagine an executable that instanciate a Producer and a shared library (.dll
or .so) that instanciate a Consumer. The executable is built with boost
v1.xx. The shared library is built with boost v1.yy.

If xx == yy, obviously there will be no problem since the version of the
shared_ptr is the same.

However if xx != yy, there might be a problem since the version of the
shared_ptr might be binary imcompatible.

Thanks,

Philippe Cayouette
