Comment:
The quoted lines of comment are intended to provide an explanation to
revision [47967], by Joseph Gauterin, following a suggestion by Steven
Watanabe.
MSVC 7.1 and Borland didn't do ADL, when we still had a using-declaration
(''using std::swap''), inside swap_impl. So Steven suggested to do a
using-directive (''using namespace std'') instead:
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/08/140589.php (suggestion a)
Now that we have a using-directive, ADL appears to be done whenever
appropriate, even for those specific compilers. As confirmed by the test
results of ''specialized_in_global'' and ''specialized_in_other'', at
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/utility-swap_.html
So would it be okay to you to have the ticket resolved as "invalid"?
