Ion, does this version of Intrusive have functionality that would allow me to adapt existing classes (i.e. a non-intrusive way to provide Boost.Intrusive functionality)? I think this could be accomplished using a mechanism similar to iterator traits classes.
Yes. You can provide your what Intrusive calls NodeTraits and ValueTraits to reuse Boost.Intrusive classes (like containers) with your own nodes. This allows reusing old C structures or use POD types to maintain binary compatibility. You have an example of this in the Boost.Intrusive documentation:

And this one shows how to use Boost.Intrusive with an old C node definition:

Awesome, thanks for the links. I have been trying out the examples and making my way through the docs. Perhaps I should have finished completely before posting. --Michael Fawcett
