I also anticipate C++0X will contain some really slick indirect_iterator types that will transform container<sole_ptr<T>>::iterator appropriately. These will likely be heavily influenced by (if not based on) the Boost.Iterator Library.
Not if nobody else fights for that library in the LWG.
pessimistic-ly y'rs, Dave
I wouldn't be so pessimistic. I don't believe a single member of the lwg expressed the opinion that we didn't want it in C++0X.
I never suggested that nobody wants it. I just don't think anyone wants it badly enough to make sure it happens.
It is clear we want something like the boost iterator library. It isn't clear /exactly/ what we want. It's a complicated area, that's all.
It is complicated technically, but that's not all ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
