12208,Lexer does not work with boost::spirit::istream_iterator,edaskel@…,Hartmut Kaiser,"According to the documentation, any forward iterator should be usable for the input stream iterator.  boost::spirit::istream_iterator is a forward iterator, yet I find boost::wave::lexing_exception is called when it is used instead of std::string_iterator.  Further, the Changelog has this to say:

TODO (known issues):
...
- Fix the re2c lexer for iterators others then string::iterator (or more
  generally for iterators, which aren't random access iterators)

which implies that this is a known problem.

Either the documentation should indicate that a random access iterator is required (and this should be enforced with an iterator traits check), or the code should be fixed to only require a forward iterator.",Bugs,new,To Be Determined,wave,Boost 1.61.0,Problem,,,
