[boost] Re: [smart cont.] Const semantics in boost::ptr_map vs. std::map

Thanks for your (quick) response. Here's another snippet that fails to compile (on MingW-gcc 3.4.2), while it really should: #include <boost/smart_container/ptr_map.hpp> struct S { int x; }; void f (boost::ptr_map<int, S>::iterator i) { (*i).x; // ok i->x; // error: operator-> is inaccessible } Eelis
