Is remembering the original type _of_ _the_ _pointer_ actually legal? Can you quote chapter and verse on this? I thought the implementation was only permitted to eject you if you use a pointer where the actual type _of_ _the_ _pointee_ is wrong. -- David Abrahams [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.boost-consulting.com Boost support, enhancements, training, and commercial distribution _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
