I have a function which takes a

const sensor_msgs::PointCloud2ConstPtr& input

as input. I currently have a sensor_msgs::PointCloud2 but i cant turn it into a pointer for some reason.

Is the sensor_msgs::PointCloud2ConstPtr are boost shared_ptr? If so how do you initialize the pointer to an object that already exists?

You should be able to use the Boost make_shared function to create a pointer to the existing cloud.

sensor_msgs::PointCloud2 p;

const sensor_msgs::PointCloud2ConstPtr& input = boost::make_shared<sensor_msgs::PointCloud2>(p);
