[Boost-users] Re: Any interest in type_traits workaround macros for ill conforming compilers?

struct abc { object x; object b; }; BOOST_REMOVE_POINTER(abc)

boosts remove_pointer<T> will now work as expected for abc types

Do such macros already exist in boost?

BOOST_TT_BROKEN_COMPILER_SPEC(abc) will do that for remove_pointer and a whole bunch of other traits. See boost/type_traits/broken_compiler_spec.hpp -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
