My compiler complains that elem_type is inaccessible in the definition of operator() and I think it is right to complain.

There's a defect report about this. The proposed resolution says that nested classes should have the same access rights as member functions, but it hasn't been approved yet IIRC.

But hat still means that currently boost.test needs to be fixed, right?

I think g++ implements the proposed resolution already.

cxx accepts the code also, but not in strict_ansi mode. :-) Markus
