Q1: Is the below code dangerous?
A1: Only if the anonymous shared_ptr is deleted before function f returns.

Q2: Is the anonymous shared_ptr deleted before function f returns?
A2: ?

Thank you,

Chris

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/make_shared.hpp>

void f(const int& i)
{
  std::cout << "i = " << i << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
  f(*boost::make_shared<int>(42));

  return 0;
}
