I've noticed that ptr_container/clone_allocator.hpp contains an undocumented overload of new_clone that accepts a pointer-to-const:
template< class T > inline T* new_clone( const T* r );
It is annoying because it doesn't support a pointer-to-non-const argument, resulting in a compile error if you try. Any chance one of the following could be done?
1) remove it
2) add a pointer-to-non-const overload
3) change it to template< class T > T* new_clone( T* r );
4) or if you care about always returning a pointer-to-non-const change it to template< class T > typename remove_const<T>::type * new_clone( T* r );
I really don't see the problem, but removing it entirely is certainly an option. Why do you get a compile error? Cloning is not supposed to require a mutable object. Is your problem with legacy code? -Thorsten
