     Type:  Bugs                     |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined         |   Component:  Python 
  Version:  Boost 1.48.0             |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                           |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 The implementation of boost::python::slice::get_indicies in 1.48.0 always
 returns an uninitialized boost::python::slice::range structure, in fact
 silently breaking the backward compatibility.

 A "return" statement appears to be missing in boost/python/slice.hpp:251

 {{{
 // Incorrect spelling. DO NOT USE. Only here for backward compatibility.
 // Corrected 2011-06-14.
 template<typename RandomAccessIterator>
 slice::range<RandomAccessIterator>
 get_indicies( const RandomAccessIterator& begin,
      const RandomAccessIterator& end) const
 {
    get_indices(begin, end);
 }
 }}}


 The bug is still present in the trunk:
