Weird Shared Pointer Errors

[Josh]

I'm down to just 12 errors before I can compile the very first build of of Leadwerks version 500!  These errors seem to be related to shared pointers but I can't see where in the code they are actually being cast to pointers or whatever.

All the errors point to the built-in memory and xutility CPP files, which say things like this:
 

	// TEMPLATE CLASS _Ref_count_obj
template<class _Ty>
	class _Ref_count_obj
	: public _Ref_count_base
	{	// handle reference counting for object in control block, no allocator
public:
	template<class... _Types>
		_Ref_count_obj(_Types&&... _Args)
		: _Ref_count_base()
		{	// construct from argument list
		::new ((void *)&_Storage) _Ty(_STD forward<_Types>(_Args)...);
		}

This is not very clear and I don't know how to resolve these errors.  Any ideas?

I never liked the "Error list" window, what's in the "Output" window regarding these errors? What does the line of code in Leadwerks that is causing the error look like?

It seems like these errors don't all have the same cause. I am able to to reproduce the 6th error like this:

std::shared_ptr<Point> blah;
std::shared_ptr<Triangle> blah2;

blah = blah2;

Which is pretty obvious what's wrong there. The error given is:
