Hi,

In my opinion, the call "shared_from_this(T* p)" in the file "boost/shared_ptr.hpp" is meant to be "shared_from_this(T const* p)"

Am I right?

No. ;-) template<class T> shared_ptr<T> shared_from_this(T * p); When shared_from_this is called with a pointer to non-const X, it will return shared_ptr<X>. When called with X const *, it will return shared_ptr<X const>. This function has been removed in the upcoming 1.30 release; the functionality is now provided by a base class enable_shared_from_this.
