Re: [boost] [Multiprecision] Does MP use references internally?

Is Boost.MP giving users references-to-types instead of class types when requesting a numeric type? Pointers may be objects in and of themselves, but references aren't; they're just aliases; trying to intentionally use them as first-class objects is arguably broken.

I don't see why this is a problem, but the first error is coming from: auto const aa = +a, bb = +b; Now, in Boost.Multiprecision the unary operator+ is a noop that returns a reference to self, could that be a cause of the issue? John.
