Please don't. I could easily make the same assertion about you. I'm doing neither. I'm trying to illustrate why I have a hard time with the documentation of this library.
In the beginning of the doc it specifies that both are for returning values of reference and const reference respectively, while avoiding the reference to reference problem.
boost::add_reference<T>::type boost::add_reference<boost::add_const<T>::type>::type
Too cryptic for me. Please explain.
These constructs do what you just described above and in fact they work even on compilers without partial specialization.
How does one work with them in the context of call traits ?
Huh? I'm just saying these members of call_traits are redundant and not even as portable as the ones in type_traits. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
