#3279: SymmetricFilter does not compile with non-char types

 Reporter:  anonymous     |       Owner:  turkanis 
     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new      
Milestone:  Boost 1.40.0  |   Component:  iostreams
  Version:  Boost 1.39.0  |    Severity:  Problem  
 Keywords:  iostreams     |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 If I use SymmetricFilter template with a type other than char (i.e.
 uint8_t) I get a compiler error when compiling
 boost/iostreams/filter/symmetric.hpp:

     template<typename Sink>
     void close(Sink& snk, BOOST_IOS::openmode which)

 IMHO the lines
                 char           dummy;
                 const char*    end = &dummy;
 should read
                 char_type           dummy;
                 const char_type*    end = &dummy;

 Please consider a change.
