I would argue that remove_pointer should cause a compile-time error when applied to a non-pointer. *p doesn't just "conveniently" return p when applied to a non-pointer. Either way though, it should be consistent, i.e. if it works for int, it should work for everything. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
