While using the boost::rational MSVC7.1 generates errors saying:

warning C4512: 'boost::detail::resetter' : assignment operator could not be generated

So I propose following diff to boost::detail::resetter that makes this warning go away

You could also define "is_" to be a pointer instead of a reference (and change the ctr & dtr appropriately). Then automatic copying could work just fine. Of course, you could say that copying shouldn't be allowed, then we could just inherit from boost::noncopyable instead. Finally, I added a bunch of utility classes like this many years ago (boost::rational is even older) so we could switch to that. Actually, maybe I should submit a patch to do the I/O functions for any stream (right now, they're just for istream and ostream, for use in pre-StdIO systems). -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com
