[STL]

I have noted the following about Boost 1.32.0. 1. boost/token_iterator.hpp is very broken on line 34.

template <class TokenizerFunc, class Iterator, class Type> class token_iterator : public iterator_facade< token_iterator<TokenizerFunc, Iterator, Type> , Type // ********** SHOULD READ: const Type , typename detail::minimum_category< forward_traversal_tag , typename iterator_traversal<Iterator>::type >::type , const Type& >

GCC 3.4.2 refuses to compile this when broken.

Why do you think so?

I'm sorry, I misremembered it as a hard error. Actually, it produces a nontrivial warning under -Wcast-qual: C:/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/3.4.2/../../../../include/boost/iter ator/iterator_facade.hpp: In static member f unction `static typename boost::mpl::if_<boost::is_reference<Reference>, Pointer, boost::detail::operator_arrow_proxy<Va lueType> >::type boost::detail::operator_arrow_result<ValueType, Reference, Pointer>::make(Reference) [with ValueType = std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, Reference = const std::basic_string<char, std::c har_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >&, Pointer = std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char
