## Class template enable_shared_from_this

boost::interprocess::enable_shared_from_this

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/interprocess/smart_ptr/enable_shared_from_this.hpp>

    template<typename T, typename A, typename D>
    class enable_shared_from_this {
    public:

      // public member functions
      shared_ptr< T, A, D > shared_from_this() ;
      shared_ptr< T const, A, D > shared_from_this() const;
    };

## Description

This class is used as a base class that allows a shared_ptr to the current object to be obtained from within a member function. enable_shared_from_this defines two member functions called shared_from_this that return a shared_ptr<T> and shared_ptr<T const>, depending on constness, to this.

### `enable_shared_from_this` public member functions

1.     shared_ptr< T, A, D > shared_from_this() ;

2.     shared_ptr< T const, A, D > shared_from_this() const;
