Re: [boost] ptr_vector requiring non-const iterator for insert

Hi,

I noticed that ptr_vector requires a non-const iterator for insert.

This is inherited from ptr_sequence_adapter, which defines

iterator insert( iterator position, T* x );

Under C++11, this differs from std::vector, which, since C++11, is happy to take const_iterators.

iterator insert( const_iterator pos, const T& value );

I read somewhere that C++11 was attempting to clear up some confusion in the standard between iterator constness and container constness.

Just wondering whether this should be adopted (e.g. changed) in ptr containers.

It should. I guess if you file a bug fix, it could happen. -Thorsten
