c++ - pass shared_ptr as a argument to a function which accepts object of a class type -

i wondering , possible pass shared_ptr argument function accepts pointer of class type

example

class class_a_type {  bla bl   private:     istuff *mstuff; }  class istuff {   public:     ireporter(){};     virtual ~ireporter(){};     virtual void reportresults( class_a_result_type *presult) = 0; };  void class_a_type::sendresultback( bool status, std::string statusstring ) {         boost::shared_ptr< class_a_result_type >aresultbptr( new class_a_result_type ( mstuff, getpropertyname() ) );         bool lbool = false;         std::string lstr = "running";         aresultbptr->setstatus( lbool, lstr );         mystuff->reportresults( aresultbptr );// error  how pass shared _ptr ??  } 

you should call get function on shared_ptr.

mystuff->reportresults( aresultbptr.get() );
