expected primary-expression before ‘*’ token

edit

I have written a code that converts a std::string in sensor_msgs::Laserscan::constPtr structure. The code is given below:

std::vector<char> scan_vectr;
  boost::system::error_code ignored_error;
  std::size_t lens=tcp_socket.read_some(boost::asio::buffer(scan_vectr),ignored_error);
  std::string scan_str(scan_vectr.begin(),scan_vectr.end());

  //Deserialize the std::string in sensor_msgs::LaserScan structure
  std::size_t serial_size = scan_str.size();
  boost::shared_array<uint8_t> buffer(new uint8_t[serial_size]);
  for (std::size_t i = 0; i < serial_size; ++i)

  {
    buffer[i] = scan_str[i];
  }
  ros::serialization::IStream stream(buffer.get(), serial_size);
  const sensor_msgs::LaserScan::ConstPtr scan;
  ros::serialization::Serializer<const sensor_msgs::LaserScan>::read(stream,sensor_msgs::LaserScan::ConstPtr *scan);

In the last line of the code, I am getting this error...

/opt/ros/indigo/include/ros/serialization.h: In instantiation of ‘static void ros::serialization::Serializer<T>::read(Stream&, typename boost::call_traits<T>::reference) [with Stream = ros::serialization::IStream; T = const sensor_msgs::LaserScan_<std::allocator<void> >; typename boost::call_traits<T>::reference = const sensor_msgs::LaserScan_<std::allocator<void> >&]’:

     t.deserialize(stream.getData());

I don't know how to handle it, please someone help me to get rid of this error. Thank you.
