You can't. BS is not derived from AS. The two are distinct types. Why
not simply fill an AS with the pointers and pass that one? return (0); }

Well I suppose that's one solution.
Here's another question though. Forget the containers. Is a smart pointer
to a derived class convertible to a smart pointer to a base class? (I don't
have access to a suitable DE at the moment or I'd test it myself.) Example:
struct A {};
struct B: public A {};
#include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp>
typedef boost::shared_p tr<A> AP;
typedef boost::shared_p tr<B> BP;
void F (AP ap) {
//...do some processing on ap
}
int main (void) {
BP bp (new B);
// Can you pass bp to F?
return (0);
}
If so, then maybe you can use a set copy constructor to create a set of base
smart pointers from a set of derived smart pointers. Possible?
Cheers,
Eric.

I would hope not. The only possibility would be if you could create a
temporary AP from the BP, which would mean require an AP from the
pointer held in BP; but constructing a smart pointer gives ownership of
the pointer to the smart pointer; you would then have two smart pointers
constructed independently from the same pointer. When the temporary AP
dies it will delete the pointer, and any further access via BP,
including BPs destruction will result in undefined behaviour.

You can't - it would be a violation of LSP, since F could replace the
held BPs with APs without a compiler error, and you'd end up with a BS
containing APs! If you pass the parameter by const reference, then
there's no problem:
F(AS(bs.begin() , bs.end()));
should do it (although it isn't very efficient). Better might be to
define F as a template. e.g.
template <class Cont>
void F(Cont& as)
{
//assume as elements are convertible to AP.
}
or an algorithm:
template <class FwdIt>
void F(FwdIt begin, FwdIt end)
{
//*begin convertible to AP.
}
It depends on what you are trying to do.

Hi
Problem:
I wish to use a pimpl to hide implementation/storage of a class (T), but I
also want to hold objects of that class (T) in an std::vector<T> (or
similar). T is non trivial (i.e. not POD, because it has std::string and
other classes requiring proper destruction, although all drill down to POD
and strings eventually).

Hi,
I was wondering, since STL containers are based around copying, whether
it's a good idea to use reference counted smart pointers, such as
boost::shared_ptr in STL containers.
I can't store the objects directly in a container, because they must
not be duplicated, so I have to use pointers. I'm just not certain about
using raw pointers or some kind of smart pointer.
Regards,

When would using std::list be more efficient / effective than using
other containers such as vector, deque, etc?
As far as I'm aware, list doesn't appear to be specialized for
anything.

Hello,
I have problem that when I use std::list<MyClassand then store
various subclasses of MyClass in that list (or any other STL container)
the instances get sliced.
I have read FAQ: ' What is a "virtual constructor"?', but I
miss information if there is some "workaround" when using STL
containers, since I can't change them to call clone() instead of copy
constructor.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
