I know about this. And it doen't make any sence to me. Looks like clear compiler bug.

FWIW I fixed this locally by changing the signature to : typename boost::remove_const< value_type

::type operator[]( size_t index ) const; typename boost::remove_const< value_type >::type at( size_t index ) const;
