Re: [boost] is_reference current implamentation (why so complex?)

This line is incorrect. main() returns int.

I understand original code - but it uses "is_reference_helper1" and "is_reference_helper2" for the same thing - ie to distingwish between fn pointer size and char size but this could be done in "one pass" (see my is_ref_fn(..) above)

The original code supports broken compilers.

Is it just because on some platforms sizeof(char) != 1 ?

sizeof(char) is 1 by definition.

If yes we can change 'char' to object with size >= sizeof(T&) to avoid this.

Types other than char (e.g. int or long) can also have size 1. Regards, m Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
