How do I call ::std::make_shared on a class with only protected or private constructors?

Question

I have this code that doesn\'t work, but I think the intent is clear:

testmakeshared.cpp

#include 

class A {
 public:
   stat         


        

Answer 1

Possibly the simplest solution. Based on the previous answer by Mohit Aron and incorporating dlf's suggestion.

#include 

class A
{
public:
    static std::shared_ptr create()
    {
        struct make_shared_enabler : public A {};

        return std::make_shared();
    }

private:
    A() {}  
};
