finding documentation & reference
The documentation at boost.org is quite confusing. I just spent way too much time trying to figure out how to get a ptr_vector to let go of anything without destroying it or giving control to another ptr_vector. The page at http://boost.org/libs/ptr_container/doc/ptr_vector.html doesn't say a single word about release(). The page also makes ptr_vector appear to only inherit from ptr_sequence_adapter which also mentions nothing about release(). It wasn't until I went to the examples page at http://boost.org/libs/ptr_container/doc/examples.html that I saw anything about release(), and even then it was barely passed over so it took a few minutes more of guessing to get things working. Is there a good reference list that shows all member functions of the various boost classes? Or any advice on how I'm supposed to use the documentation? I really don't know how I'm supposed to learn boost when key features aren't mentioned, unless users are expected to go through all the source to ever learn anything. - HeroreV

You'll have a better response if you put the specific library in your email subject line, for example: '[ptr_vector]finding documentation & reference' Jeff Flinn
