I don't get this. It's a poor library if it does not even check its own preconditions in eg. debug mode. Moreover, if you put the precondition in the library, you take the burden away from the client; this is highly recommeded since it encapsulates commen code _one_ place, not O(n) places! regards Thorsten Ottsen, AAU _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
