Yes.

It is due to a gcc bug, but other compilers have their own bugs. By portability, I meant practical portability, in so far as using multiply_traits works on a lot more compilers.

I see. Does the fact that BOOST_TYPEOF are BOOST_TYPEOF_TPL are there means that they will be eventually the only macros are used, and all the others macros in typeof package will be unnecessary and discarded when compilers become free of this kind of bug in the future?

In the future, we will have decltype, so the entire library will become obsolete, although, I expect it to be be kept around for backwards compatibility for a while. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
