Forgive me if I have misunderstood, but how can that cause Boost.Polygon to see my specialisation when it looks up polygon_traits<std::array<Point,3>> ?
I had a similar problem.
As it turns out, Boost.Polygon already uses a level of indirection internally. You can specialize boost_polygon_traits_general (instead of boost_polygon_traits).
THANKS! Yes, that works. It's a hack but I've done worse...
This is undocumented, but it was the only way I found to get it working.
I would argue this is a bug, or at least a deficiency. Not sure if the right fix is to change the documentation or the implementation.
It's clearly a misfeature. Regarding fixing it, I have the impression that Boost.Polygon is essentially abandoned. Are you actively using it? Anyone else out there? Regards, Phil.
