Since the suggested trick of using GCC (4.6) from MacPorts as a Darwin GCC worked, I've tried out my first C++11 update: base_from member. It's very straightforward. //$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Index: boost/utility/base_from_member.hpp===================================================================--- boost/utility/base_from_member.hpp (revision 76917)+++ boost/utility/base_from_member.hpp (working copy)@@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ // boost utility/base_from_member.hpp header file --------------------------// -// Copyright 2001, 2003, 2004 Daryle Walker.

What I got will work just fine, right? Do the constructors need any marking besides "explicit" and "constexpr"? (I believe the "constexpr" will be safely ignored if the forwarded constructor isn't "constexpr" itself without a compile-time error. It was designed that way, right?) I'll just update the documentation and commit the change, then. Daryle W.
