I've now modified the CVS version of shared_ptr to handle these cases. With
the modifications in place, your example now prints:
plain foo
failed
const failed
shared_ptr<foo>
works
const works
shared_ptr<foo const>
const works
shared_ptr<foo> from auto_ptr<foo>
works
const works
shared_ptr<foo const> from auto_ptr<foo>
const works
shared_ptr<foo const> from auto_ptr<foo const>
const works
Thank you for the suggestion. :-)
