     Type:  Bugs                               |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined                   |  Component:  type_traits
  Version:  Boost 1.60.0                       |   Severity:  Regression
 Keywords:  add_reference void const volatile  |
-----------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 Since boost 1.60.0, the specializations of add_reference for

 cost void,
 const volatile void,
 volatile void,

 all yield void. I believe they should instead yield their argument types,
 as is the case for boost 1.59 and before.

 The fix is simple, in add_reference.hpp:

 template <> struct add_reference<const void> { typedef const void type; };
 template <> struct add_reference<const volatile void> { typedef const
 volatile void type; };
 template <> struct add_reference<volatile void> { typedef volatile void
 type; };
