Re: [boost] safe bool not safe enough ?

So bool b = t; // I wish it worked with Testable::explicit operator bool, but doesn't.

Sorry for bringing up such an old thread, but what's wrong with writing:

bool b(t);

Which does the same thing?

Obviously needing to fix old code, that uses the former syntax ;-) And by the way, the use case I'll miss the most is: bool f() { shared_ptr<T> p = something(); some_other_things(); return p; } The last line will need to be changed somethink like: return !!p; It's no big deal, but I'll personally miss the old syntax ;-) Regards, Kris
