My CFLAGS provoke two instances of the "'x' shadows a member 'this'" warning in filter_iterator constructors. Although the code is ok, I'd still like to ask for a change so that I may return to using -Werror without tinkering with the installed boost. :)

Patched on the HEAD and RC_1_34_0

Thanks for the report!

*Thank you* for the fix. If you're interested in more of these warnings, I just wanted to try out Boost.Program_options, and got this (there maybe more, this comes from a small snippet taken from the library tutorial): boost/lexical_cast.hpp:49: warning: declaration of 'target_type' shadows a member of 'this' boost/lexical_cast.hpp:49: warning: declaration of 'source_type' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/detail/parsers.hpp:31: warning: declaration of 'args' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/detail/parsers.hpp:66: warning: declaration of 'style' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/errors.hpp:23: warning: declaration of 'what' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/errors.hpp:29: warning: declaration of 'msg' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/errors.hpp:29: warning: declaration of 'tokens' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/errors.hpp:54: warning: declaration of 'alternatives' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/errors.hpp:68: warning: declaration of 'what' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/errors.hpp:76: warning: declaration of 'what' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/errors.hpp:82: warning: declaration of 'what' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/errors.hpp:106: warning: declaration of 'what' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/errors.hpp:113: warning: declaration of 'what' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/option.hpp:29: warning: declaration of 'value' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/option.hpp:29: warning: declaration of 'string_key' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/options_description.hpp:235: warning: declaration of 'what' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/parsers.hpp:35: warning: declaration of 'description' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/variables_map.hpp:34: warning: declaration of 'defaulted' shadows a member of 'this' boost/program_options/variables_map.hpp:34: warning: declaration of 'v' shadows a member of 'this' -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb?
