I have following code:
template < typename PointerT >
void f( PointerT ptr )
{
ReferenceT ref = *ptr;
// ... do something with ref ...
}
The problem is that ReferenceT is unknown inside f( ... ).
If i had similar code for InteratorT instead of PointerT i was using
iterator_traits.
AFAIK there is no pointer traits for a raw and smart pointers and i can not
use type_traits
for smart pointers.
So, the question is: "Is there some simple solution for this problem or this
is just
lack of pointer_traits in boost (std?) ?"
