<boost/utility/addressof.hpp>

The header <boost/utility/addressof.hpp> defines the function template boost::addressof. boost::addressof(x) returns the address of x. Ordinarily, this address can be obtained by &x, but the unary & operator can be overloaded.

boost::addressof was originally contributed by Brad King based on ideas from discussion with Doug Gregor.
