And if so, can this be added to the list of changes for 1.34? I didn't see it there, and this is an important change, since it will break a lot of code. Thanks.
it's not on the main boost page, but avaible here:
http://www.boost.org/libs/ptr_container/doc/ ptr_container.html#upgrading-from-boost-v-1-33
This is the kind of thing that needs to go on the front page, to alert users. Could you prepare a patch to the front page in RC_1_34_0, open a Trac ticket, etc., so that Boost 1.34.1 will have the appropriate documentation?
OK great, thanks. I agree that the change was a good one, I just think it needs to be more visible because I would never have known about it if I hadn't caught something on the list a few months ago. And, if people happen to be using ptr_map with a value_type of std::pair, this can be a silent breaking change. (It happened to me!) -Lewis
