Hello,

Does boost got something to do this struct node { std::vector<node> children; // node is incomplete }; in a way which conform with the standard which disallows STL containers of incomplete types?

Is that not allowed? VC++ compiles it. I don't know of any rule that would disallow it...

This issue strikes boost.property_tree <boost/ptree.hpp> ... template<class C, class K, class P, class D, class X> class basic_ptree { ... typedef basic_ptree<C, K, P, D, X> self_type; ... typedef std::pair<key_type, self_type> value_type; // ..self_type is incomplete! ... typedef std::list<value_type> container_type; ... container_type m_container; <boost/ptree.hpp> -- Maik PS: I had to apply this <link> http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/164866/match=property%5f... </link> to get libs/property_tree/test/sandbox.cpp compiled.
