Can't compile BOOST_TEST( ..., per_element() ) comparison of vector<string>

[Tony Lewis <tonyelewis@…>]

Thanks for the new BOOST_TEST() and per_element() tools, which look very useful.

Unfortunately, the following simple vector<string> example fails to compile under both g++ -std=c++11 and clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++.

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE comp_str_mod

#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

#include <string>
#include <vector>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( comp_strs ) {
        std::vector<std::string> a{ "ann" };
        std::vector<std::string> b{ "bry" };

        BOOST_TEST( a == b, boost::test_tools::per_element() );
}

The core part of GCC's error message is:

error: ‘revert’ is not a member of ‘boost::test_tools::assertion::op::EQ<std::basic_string<char>, std::basic_string<char>, void>’

If I'm doing it wrong, is there any way we can make the compile errors and/or documentation clearer about avoiding this? Thanks.
