Hi all,

The recently discussed MSVC-specific trick, by Igor Chesnokov, has been added to the BOOST_TYPEOF submission. As a reminder, this implementation compiles much faster, and doesn't require type/template registration.

This implementation covers VC6.5/7.0/7.1, but not VC8.0 (where the loophole seems to have been fixed).

Please take it in the Boost sandbox file vault, http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/, typeof.zip.

I have added a version of the remove_xxx metafunctions that works with MSVC6.5 and VC7.0 for all types without any sort of registration (using the new typeof functionality mentioned above) http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/, remove_xxx.zip. The relevant tests under lib/type_traits/test/ compile succesfully. (remove_xxx_test.cpp) Since the implementation of typeof for VC relies on compile time constants in order to work , there is a limitation of how many different types the typeof operation can be used to infer in a single cpp-file. Typically around 2500. Hopefully, this is not a major problem. Regards, Peder
