Hi,
I have a problem with iterator_facade usage. Error is reported by Comeau and MIPSPro compilers:
An error output can be found in regression tables:
The compiler is reporting, that iterator_core_access cannot access the private equal() function, althought it has been marked as friend.
IIUC the compiler is right. The friend declaration in boost::algorithm::find_iterator declares boost::algorithm::iterator_core_access as friend. Not boost::iterator_core_access. IIUC there is no name lookup on unqualified names in friend class declarations. See core issue 138 for further information.
Changing the friend declaration to friend class ::boost::iterator_core_access should fix the problem.
Thanks for explanation. I didn't know about this issue, although it perfectly makes sense. IMO such an issue should be noted in the iterator_facade docs and examples, because it can be easily overlooked (at least I overlooked it very easily:) )
Appropriate clarifying patches to the .rst files would be gratefully accepted! You don't need to worry about getting .rst syntax right; we can fix that for you if needed.
After I finish updating all string_algo docs, I might consider that, however, it is more probable, that somebody else could make it sooner :) Pavol
