C++ Frustrations. Normally, I can get some enjoyment out of programming in C++ (especially with a working STL and the boost libraries), but I've been suffering a fair bit of frustration lately.

Smart pointers are almost good enough, but fail in interesting little ways just when you need them the most. In my Type::GetResultType function, for example, I need to return this for all types except function types, and there's no way to get a shared pointer to this. So I need to hack around this somehow.

I miss Dylan.
