That's why I think only library authors should register their types. In case it's not possible (STL, for example) this is done by the typeof

itself.
Maybe It would be a good idea to think up a common format for library authors to use, such as the name of the Header to include to register the libraries types with Typeof. Then It would be possible for someone other than the library author to add the headers to the relevent libraries . It might be best to add them as subdirectories of the typeof directory, so for example I would look for a "boost/typeof/mpl/vector/register.hpp" header or some such and if not found (ideallly!) write it and submit it with some suitable tests for placing in a subdirectory of libs/typeof/test/..
This would make typeof dependent on all the other libraries. I don't think I like this idea... In fact, I know for sure that I don't :-) I believe the registration of a library types should reside inside this library, and tested as a part of this library test.
So that you can catch all of them at once instead of one-by-one, as the error messages arrive. Sounds reasonable.
In VC7.1 they dont always arrive in the first place ;-)
Don't we always get something like: "Type_not_registered_with_typeof_library=xxx<[a few hundred lines here]>" ? Regards, Arkadiy
