Re: [boost] [compressed pair] Borland patch

From: Robert Kawulak

I think this should rather be:

#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__DMC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x846)) #define BOOST_PRIVATE_BASE_CAST(type, arg) static_cast<type>(arg) #else #define BOOST_PRIVATE_BASE_CAST(type, arg) (arg) #endif

And later in the appropriate lines:

first_reference first() { return BOOST_PRIVATE_BASE_CAST(first_reference, *this); } first_const_reference first() const { return BOOST_PRIVATE_BASE_CAST(first_const_reference, *this); }

I think I just found a better solution - if the base classes of compressed_pair_imp are protected instead of private, then DMC compiles this fine (and four other compilers I've tested too), and the code isn't cluttered with macros. Best regards, Robert
