I have simple base and derived class that I want both have `shared_from_this()`.

This simple solution:

```
class foo : public enable_shared_from_this<foo> {
    void foo_do_it()
    {
        cout<<"foo::do_it\n";
    }
public:
    virtual function<void()> get_callback()
    {
        return boost::bind(&foo::foo_do_it,shared_from_this());
    }
    virtual ~foo() {};
};

class bar1 : public foo , public enable_shared_from_this<bar1> {
    using enable_shared_from_this<bar1>::shared_from_this;
    void bar1_do_it()
    {
        cout<<"foo::do_it\n";
    }
public:
    virtual function<void()> get_callback()
    {
        return boost::bind(&bar1::bar1_do_it,shared_from_this());
    }
};

```

Causes exception `tr1::bad_weak_ptr` in following code:

```
shared_ptr<foo> ptr(shared_ptr<foo>(new bar1));
function<void()> f=ptr->get_callback();
f();

```

So after "googling" I have found following solution:

```
class bar2 : public foo {
    void bar2_do_it()
    {
        cout<<"foo::do_it\n";
    }
    shared_ptr<bar2> shared_from_this()
    {
        return boost::static_pointer_cast<bar2>(foo::shared_from_this());
    }
public:
    virtual function<void()> get_callback()
    {
        return boost::bind(&bar2::bar2_do_it,shared_from_this());
    }
};

```

And now it works.

Is there any better and more convinient and correct way to `enable_shared_from_this` for both parent and child?

Thanks
