Subject: Re: [Boost-users] [boost-users][Container] Compilation error using new "static_vector".

Hello Kris,

Thank you very much for your assistance.

I will give it try, although this issue became somehow obsolete since I wanted to store the "CGAL::Polygon_2" in shared memory. I noticed that this is not even possible with CGAL::Vector_2, so I have to think about something completely different.

Many thanks and best regards

Jupp Tscheak
