How can I get the address of scoped_ptr?

Question

I'm studying smart pointers, in particular scoped_ptr. I read about the operators * and ->. I tried to run this code:

int main(){
  boost::scoped_ptr<int>number(new int);
  *number = 432;
  std::cout<<"Value: "<<*number <<std::endl<< " Adress: "<< number <<std::endl;
  return 0;
}

And the result is:

Value: 432 Adress: 1

That isn't correct.

How have I to use -> operator to get the correct address?

Answer 1

Use get() member function:

boost::scoped_ptr<int>number(new int);
*number = 432;
std::cout<<"Value: "<<*number <<std::endl<< " Adress: "<< number.get() <<std::endl;
