I propose to define the macro BOOST_HAS_TEMPLATE_NESTED_CLASS_DEDUCTION for the VC compilers (and possibly other compilers supporting this) and supplying BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TEMPLATE_NESTED if the above is set.
Wouldn't this just encourage the writting of code not conforming to the c++ standard?
Hmm. You have a point. The main reason for creating something like this would be to allow registration of the dinkumware iterators, which are defined as nested classes (unlike the iterators of other stl-implementations which are normal template classes already supported by the TYPEOF library) BOOST_TYPEOF_REGISTER_TEMPLATE_NESTED should only be used in this context, and not promoted outside of the TYPEOF library. This functionality could also be implemented in the same scope as the stl registration code. This would prevent the TYPEOF library from being polluted, but would allow automatic registration of iterators for all platforms. Peder
