Hi all, In preparation for BoostCon, I'm looking for a workaround for the problems described in http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2009/n2855.html. In particular I need a way to detect whether a type "has a move constructor" (without causing a compiler error, of course) in GCC 4.4. Ideally, "has a move constructor" would mean - when constructed from an rvalue of the same type, a copy constructor with signature T(T const&) is not used. though I would settle for - has a constructor with the signature T(T&&) I'm willing to use G++-specific hackery if necessary. I strongly suspect it's impossible, but if you can think of any way to do it, I'd really appreciate knowing about it. You'll be my hero forever ;-) TIA, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
