--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The standard says s.reset(p) is equivalent to shared_ptr(p).swap(s) and
shared_ptr(p) requires that p is a pointer to a complete type.

A void* is not a pointer to a complete type.

If your code compiled it would end up calling 'delete' on a void*, which is
invalid, and would not be suitable for memory allocated by malloc() anyway.
