Re: [boost] [swap] Workaround for ADL failures of MSVC 7.1 andBorland okay?

[...] would it harm for other toolsets to have "using namespace std;" within the boost_swap_impl::swap_impl function?

I think it's ok. A using directive is just as correct as a using declaration, so it shouldn't break any of the more conformant compilers. I've tested it on gcc and como.

Thanks, Steve! I'm glad to hear that a "using namespace std" directive appears to work fine, for more conformant, as well as for less conformant compilers. I'm off now until August 13, so I think I'll just commit the workaround to the trunk when I'm back. (If it's still needed by then, of course!) Kind regards, Niels
