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.
I have attached diff of changes to any.hpp which worked with clang++."	Bugs	closed	Boost 1.64.0	any	Boost 1.61.0	Problem	fixed
