You most probably don't want to do that. boost::shared_pointer and
boost::weak_pointer have bad multi-threading semantics.

What do you actually want to achieve ?

There are no tracking of object identification. If you send the same
object twice, you'll get it twice.

Again, what is the actual situation / use case / problem you are trying
to solve ?
