I have a ticket <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7652> asking for compile-time checked access to elements of a boost::array.
I have implemented a specialization of boost::get (and for c++11, std::get) that does this, and it's been on the trunk and being tested for a couple weeks.
This is technically not a bug fix, but new functionality, but I'd like to get it into the next release.
So, I'm asking permission to merge to release.
The change lists are 82083 (for the functionality), 82084 and 82102 (for the tests), and 82103 (for the docs)
Some of those revision numbers are wrong.
Crud. Apparently copy and paste is beyond my mental abilities. 82083 (for the functionality) 82089 and 82102 (for the tests) 82105 (for the docs)
Also, I don't like the idea of adding anything to 'std' at this stage.
I'm not adding stuff to "namespace std", but rather specializing a template function for boost::array that is already defined. But if you think that this is too late/risky to be added to this release, I'm OK with that.
<looks> No, you're not specializing a function template. You're adding an overload. My standardese is rusty, but I don't think that's allowed in namespace std. Anyway, I'm with Daniel. Marshall, can you please hold this change? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
