What is the result type of transform if the algorithm is given two sequences of different sizes? Thanks, Eric.

I think the docs imply strongly that the result sequence will be the same length as the first sequence: Complexity: Linear. Exactly ... size<s1>::value applications of op / op2 and in::operation ...although the semantics are stated in terms of pair_view, which is never defined in the docs (ahem!) As for the exact type of the result, well, MPL transformation algorithms never tell you that, regardless of the inputs. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

That was the intented semantics, but it appears that tests don't cover this case, and things don't quite work as they supposed to. I'll take a look at it.

Yes, it's a known issue. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering

Forgot to say that I've put it on the library TODO list: http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?MPL_TODO_List -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
