Re: [boost] Library design Q : overloads v/s default args

Zitat von Roshan <roshan_naik@yahoo.com>:

template<class Itr, class T, class BinOp> accumulate(Itr first, Itr last, T init, BinOp op = std::plus<T>() );

I am wondering if there is any reason to avoid default arguments in general purpose libraries ?

this case won't compile, template arguments are not deduced from default arguments.
