But this is not a get(). It is an acquire_approx(). :-) I think that most programmers are familiar with get() and would expect the returned pointer to be invalidated by the first mutating operation. I don't see what are you trying to achieve with peek(). _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
