Re: [Boost-users] [array] VC++ 7.1 bug and a proposed fix

Personally I would add the template-assignment op for BOOST_MSVC < 1400 only, would we gain anything from adding it for other compilers? It opens up an assignment that wasn't there before, so I guess it means array<double, N> becomes assignable to array<int, N> which may or may not be a good idea depending on your POV.

John.

array already has a template assignment op. array<double, N> already is assignable to array<int, N> The question is, should we add a non-template assignment op for VC++ 7.1, as a compiler bug workaround. --Johan Råde
