10011,segment_manager::find( unique_instance_t* ) fails to compile,Michael Smolensky <smolensky@…>,Ion Gaztañaga,"When called directly (not from managed_memory_impl), segment_manager::find( unique_instance_t* ) fails to compile. Both v 1.53, 1.55, and  1.55b have this issue.

The fix would be either: 

- to remove segment_manager::find( unique_instance_t* ) and replace 
find( const CharType* ) with find( char_ptr_holder_t ) or

- to fix priv_find_impl( unique_instance* ): in line 742 replace name with typeid(T).name()
      void *ret = priv_generic_find<char>(name, m_header.m_unique_index, table, size, is_intrusive_t(), lock); 
with
      void *ret = priv_generic_find<char>(typeid(T).name(), m_header.m_unique_index, table, size, is_intrusive_t(), lock);

Below is a test program and VC11 error:
