[Boost-users] [boost][iterator] Regarding Ticket #11847

Hi, I am new and I wanted to contribute. The ticker #11847 says,"reference typedef no longer available in parent class of iterator_facade" but actually I think reference is available in class iterator_facade itself(boost/iterator/iterator_facade.hpp). But still we are not able to use reference in class simple_iterator : public boost::iterator_facade and then after a while I saw this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1643035/propagating-typedef-from-based-to...

From my side I can only solve this kind of problem by

   using typename boost::iterators::iterator_facade::reference; or using alternative of reference as    T& dereference() const { return *m_iter; } //T& instead of reference,  as stated in Ticket Can somebody please tell me or guide me to a better way to solve this problem. Regards Gagan Kumar
