            Bug ID: 65714
           Summary: shared_ptr<void>::reset(p) blows a static_assertion
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.9.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libstdc++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: john.salmon at deshaw dot com

The single-argument form of shared_ptr::reset fails with a static assertion
when the pointer type is void.

drdws0047$ cat spv.cpp
#include <memory>
#include <cstdlib>

void foo(){
    std::shared_ptr<void> spv( ::malloc(1024), ::free );
    spv.reset(::malloc(2048));     // .../shared_ptr_base.h:874:4: error:
static assertion failed: incomplete type
    spv.reset(::malloc(2048), ::free);  // looks ok.
}




drdws0047$ dw -m gcc/4.9.2-30B/bin g++ -std=c++14 spv.cpp

Noone is convinced this would be a positive change, let's close it.
