Oh, that's something I haven't thought about. There are quite a few places in boost where inheritance from generic types is used, presumably they've all got the same problem. I'm not sure if there's a good way to handle this.
Can't you just wrap it and derive from the wrapper? For instance, I have a wrapper (which is a little overkill for this) at ebo_wrapper.h <https://github.com/nliber/cool/blob/master/ebo_wrapper.h>. My version uses the traits in std, but Boost.TypeTraits <https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/type_traits/doc/html/index.html> has equivalents. -- Nevin ":-)" Liber <mailto:nevin@cplusplusguy.com <nevin@eviloverlord.com>> +1-847-691-1404
