[boost] (no subject)

BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT - On occasion I find it convenient to use: BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(false) In templated code that should be unreachable. However, its doesn't work with compilers that are too smart for their own good. In order to make this work I need something like: BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(boost::false_<T>::value) Where boost::false<T> is a type that yields false for any type T. Am I correct here? Where should such a code snippet be placed? Could it be added to mpl, type_trait or what? Robert Ramey
