Hi, I had no time to do a review even a minimal one, but as other, I expect the library will be accepted as all the containers merit to be 1st class citizen Boost libraries. For the standard containers I will suggest to have a mode that doesn't use any extension not defined by the standard. I have not a deep opinion on which should be the default behavior, but the standard seems to be a good compromise. For features that are allowed by the standard, but not required, as recursive containers, it will be great if there is a macro that is defined when the library provides the optional feature. Thanks for this big and excellent work. Vicente -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/containers-review-A-reminder-that-the-con...

For "extended" functions this would be easy. I think I should add also a comment on extended functions documentation to state clearly the function is an extension.

It's not that easy. Some implementations, say, MSVC, most containers work with recursive types and it is not easy to detect recursive types. Best, Ion
