Hi Folks

Can anyone explain the output of this program...

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/range/algorithm/copy.hpp>
#include <boost/range/counting_range.hpp>
#include <boost/range/adaptor/reversed.hpp> 
#include <boost/range/adaptor/transformed.hpp> 
#include <boost/phoenix/bind/bind_function.hpp>
#include <boost/phoenix/core/argument.hpp>


int f( int i ) { return i * 2; }

int main( )
{
    using boost::adaptors::reversed;
    using boost::adaptors::transformed;
    using boost::counting_range;
    using boost::copy;
    using boost::phoenix::arg_names::_1;

    copy( counting_range( 1, 5 ) | reversed | transformed( f ),
            std::ostream_iterator<int>( std::cout, " " ) );
    std::cout << std::endl;

    copy( counting_range( 1, 5 ) | reversed | transformed( bind( f, _1 ) ),
            std::ostream_iterator<int>( std::cout, " " ) );
    std::cout << std::endl;
}

Which is...

8 6 4 2
1768406272 1768406272 1768406272 1768406272

I'm using Gcc 4.6.2 & Boost 1.53

Thx All.

Michel Morin was long ago kind enough to diagnose this problem as being due to https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2640
which is about whether iterators may and should own their referents, but my trac-foo is not quite up to being certain 
whether this was ever fixed or indeed could or should be fixed.

I'd appreciate a quick sentence confirming the current situation.

Thx, Rob.
