I'm pretty sure Vicente meant: please either paste or attach a
complete small program source, with all relevant #includes, that he
could download or paste into a local file and immediately compile
himself to observe the problem.

Very often a problem we observe strongly depends on the context in
which the relevant statements are running.

Sometimes the very process of deriving the smallest program that still
fails is sufficient to solve the problem yourself. Highly recommended.

Sometimes, if every small example program you create (without your own
organization's code) behaves exactly as expected, you establish that
the problem really isn't in the Boost library.

If you can send a _small_ program that replicates the problem, you
give the library author some chance of diagnosing the issue without
having to spend days untangling your control flow.

For all of these reasons: whittle down the problem to the smallest
possible complete, self-contained program that demonstrates the
problem.
