"It's not a bug, it a feature!" (tm) ;) I know they will find a convincing excuse, but that doesn't help us as we create a library which is usually used through <> instead of "". >> To work around this, I added a simple STATIC_ASSERT which - for some >> reason - still works :) > > Odd, since the Intel-specific BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT is > > [snip] > > which looks pretty close to what checked_delete uses. That's correct. I don't know why it works in one case but not in the other. But we've seen stranger bugs already, haven't we? :)) >> +#include <boost/config.hpp> >> +#if defined(BOOST_INTEL) >> +#include <boost/static_assert.hpp> >> +#endif > > Dependencies.
