Can't std::shared_from_this
be inherited by its derived classes?
Why doesn't this code snippet compile(check http://cpp.sh/7llcr)? I have read the documentation(https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/enable_shared_from_this) carefully, but still can't find any clue. I have thought about it for a long. I would be very grateful to have some help with this question.
Here is the code snippet which does not compile:
// enable_shared_from_this example
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
struct C : std::enable_shared_from_this<C> {};
struct D : public C {};
int main () {
std::shared_ptr<D> foo, bar;
foo = std::make_shared<D>();
bar = foo->shared_from_this();
return 0;
}
Compiler complains:
