[Boost-users] concept_check question.

Hi, I am having trouble understanding why the following concept_check, which checks an inheritance relationship, doesn't work but the BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT does. Just to make sure that the concept does actually work, the LessThanComparableConcept was implemented and then commented out. Would appreciate getting the missing link in my understanding. thanks in advance for all help, -sr ------------------------------------------ #include #include #include using namespace boost; template <typename T> struct MyConcept { void constraints() { (bool)(boost::is_base_and_derived::value == true); // (bool)(a (); BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT( (is_base_and_derived::value == true)); } ~X(){} // bool operator<(X& rhs) { return (x < rhs.x); } int x; }; int main() { return 0;}
