12615,any_cast should use addressof instead of operator &,vishalshetye@…,Antony Polukhin,"Please see attached test.cpp file for sample code. I have included compiler errors in the form of comments in the same.

If a class has overloaded operator & then any_cast (which uses & itself) results in following type of compilation error.

{{{
any.hpp:246:16: error: cannot initialize return object of type 'ExampleClass<int> *'
with an rvalue of type 'const int **'
}}}


I think fix is to replace use of & operator with std::addressof.
