		<h3><a name="Purpose">Purpose</a></h3>
		<p>
			The header <STRONG>&lt;boost/enable_shared_from_this.hpp&gt;</STRONG> defines 
			the class template <STRONG>enable_shared_from_this</STRONG>. It is used as a 
			base class that allows a <A href="shared_ptr.htm">shared_ptr</A> to the current 
			object to be obtained from within a member function.
		</p>
		<P><STRONG>enable_shared_from_this&lt;T&gt;</STRONG> defines two member functions 
			called <STRONG>shared_from_this</STRONG> that return a <STRONG>shared_ptr&lt;T&gt;</STRONG>
			and <STRONG>shared_ptr&lt;T const&gt;</STRONG>, depending on constness, to <STRONG>this</STRONG>.</P>
		<h3><a name="Example">Example</a></h3>

int main()

    shared_ptr&lt;Y&gt; p(new Y);
    shared_ptr&lt;Y&gt; q = p-&gt;f();
    assert(p == q);
    assert(!(p &lt; q || q &lt; p)); // p and q must share ownership
