Re: [boost] Getters vs. constant members

However, some reviewers commented that it was "ugly" to provide getters that just returned a member's value. I tried to change most of those instances to constant members that could be queried directly, but I still have doubts whether that was the correct way to go.

I think you did the same mistake as me when I arrived here: you believed all answers were relevant. Unfortunately boost's mailing list is like all mailing lists, some comments are great, some are stating the obvious and some are really bad. It's up to you to filter all this and pick only the good ideas or what more than one knowledgeable person seems to think is a good one. Hope it helps. Philippe
