[boost] [intrusive] recursive intrusive data structures

hi all, is there an easy way to define recursive data structures? something like: struct my_node: boost::intrusive::list_base_hook<> { boost::intrusive::list<my_node> children; }; i am currently using a base class as helper, which causes very dirty code, since i explicitly need to cast from the base to the main class all over the place: struct my_node_base: boost::intrusive::list_base_hook<> {}; struct node: my_node_base { boost::intrusive::list<my_node_base> children; }; thanks, tim -- tim@klingt.org http://tim.klingt.org Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
