Milestone:  Boost 1.43.0              |   Component:  ptr_container
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0              |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:  ptr_map                   |  
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 The following program compiled with gcc using options -W and -Wall spits
 out a warning about ignored type qualifiers.

 test.cpp:
 #include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_map.hpp>
 int main() { }

 g++ -W -Wall test.cpp
 ../include/boost/ptr_container/detail/map_iterator.hpp:52: warning: type
 qualifiers ignored on function return type

 It seems like there is a superfluous const in the -> operator.
 const ref_pair* const operator->() const
 should be
 const ref_pair* operator->() const
