I had these two functions in my project:

char* V8StringToChar(v8::Handle<v8::String> str);
char* V8StringToChar(v8::Local<v8::Value> val);

I converted them to:

std::shared_ptr<char> V8StringToChar(v8::Handle<v8::String> str);
std::shared_ptr<char> V8StringToChar(v8::Local<v8::Value> val);

And every usage of them to (&*V8StringToChar(whatever))

But it giving me Errors:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include\utility(163): 
error C2664: 'CefStringBase<traits>::CefStringBase(const CefStringBase<traits> &) ' :      
cannot convert parameter 1 from 'std::tr1::shared_ptr<_Ty>' to 'const   
CefStringBase<traits> &' [C:\CEF\appjs_final\appjs\build\appjs.vcxproj]

I am using node-gyp to build the projects in windows.

Are you sure you converted *every* usage? The error suggests that you're passing a shared pointer to something expecting a naked pointer. – Mike Seymour Sep 05 '13 at 10:13
Great that was the problem. Sorry – Ashish Negi Sep 05 '13 at 10:25
@Mike Is there any case that it would break the application ? – Ashish Negi Sep 05 '13 at 11:05
