Re: [boost] [typeof]Typeof with MinGW

"Giovanni Piero Deretta" <gpderetta@gmail.com> wrote

This works though (at least with gcc 4.1.2):

#include <vector>

template<typename T> struct identity { typedef T type; };

int main() { std::vector<int> v; typedef identity<typeof(v)>::type::iterator type; }

So BOOST_TYPEOF could include 'identity' in its expansion.

Working around the problem by _complicating_ the expression inside typeof is not a way I would go. It then may fail in another contexts, where it didn't fail before. This is clearly a compiler bug, and needs to be addressed by the compiler developers. Regards, Arkadiy
