Hello,
I'm looking at the implementation of the "restriction" device, from Boost.Iostreams library, which provides access to a subsequence of the original device.
When it reaches the end of the input subsequence, the restriction device start performing read()'s of size zero on the original device. Shouldn't it be returning an end-of-sequence marker (EOF) instead?
I am using a restriction device as source parameter for the iostreams::copy function and this always results in an infinite loop. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Hi Borko, which version of boost do you use? I'm asking because I very much rely on iostream::restrict device and never had any issues so far. That is up to boost 1.41 because we have not moved to a newer version yet. I find it annoying that nobody ever answers questions related to boost::iostreams.
