Under C++03 compilers, make_shared takes its arguments by const reference:
template<class T, class A1>
shared_ptr<T> make_shared( A1 const & a1 );
MSVC doesn't like the A1=int& case because it forms the questionably valid
"int& const&".
boost::bind(
&boost::make_shared<Y, boost::reference_wrapper<int> >,
boost::ref(i) );
works though. This is what make_shared<Y>( ref(i) ) would instantiate.
