Hmm... the same problem can be seen if you try
std::make_pair("1", "2");
the template parameters are deduces as char[1] and char[1], and there's no
much you can do with that type, not even copy it. That's the way template
argument deduction works, IIRC. I suggest that you change ctors of any and
any::holder to take value instead of reference, and tell what you got. Of
course, you should be able to say
boost::any test = static_cast<const char*>("Test me");
