Re: [boost] [type_traits][cw] is_convertible compile failure

I don't see any way around that unfortunately: the function call should be deduced to work OK: it does on EDG and gcc compilers, and ultimately all the possible implementations use either this method or the current one (or trivial variations). Is there any other way to work around the original problem?

I don't see any, either, as CW seems not being able to handle function types at all here. I'm also far from being an expert :-) : the auto_ptr test works well with the original implementation if you remove const. I'm just wondering: could someone give me an example where is_convertible returns different results if a type is/is not const? stefan
