[boost] [signals] could last_value<void>::result_type be set to void instead of to last_value<void>::unusable?

8 Jun 2007

      Hello,

For the default signal combiner last_value,
last_value<void>::result_type is currently set to
last_value<void>::unusable.  On compilers which support void returns,
it seems like it would be more beneficial to set it to void instead.
I.e.,

  template<>
  struct last_value<void> {
#ifdef BOOST_NO_VOID_RETURNS
    struct unusable {};

  public:
    typedef unusable result_type;
#else
  public:
    typedef void result_type;
#endif // BOOST_NO_VOID_RETURNS

...

I have submitted trac ticket #1043 to this effect with the trivial
patch attached, in case this change would be OK.

Thanks,

Stjepan
