So, problem solved for now, but I'd still like to use pop_back and know why it failed...

list is like a singly-linked list at runtime: you can't do pop_back() because it's not an O(1) operation.

I see, but does that go for the other mpl containers as well? pop_back fails on all of list, vector, list_c, vector_c and range_c. Can't say I see any good reason to supply an algorithm that's not working with any of the containers ;) Cheers, -- Tarjei
