Requirements for traits::interior_{const,mutable}_type

[john.firebaugh@…]

The documentation of Polygon Concept states:

there must be a specialization of traits::interior_type defining the type of the collection of its interior rings as type; this collection itself must fulfill a Boost.Range Random Access Range Concept

(Emphasis mine; the mention of traits::interior_type should actually be traits::interior_const_type and traits::interior_mutable_type -- ticket #12304 -- but the issue I'm reporting here has to do with the latter bolded part of the statement.)

It appears that boost::geometry::intersection makes requirements on the interior type that are not a part of the Boost.Range Random Access Range Concept. Specifically, boost/geometry/algorithms/detail/overlay/convert_ring.hpp ​calls `interior_rings(destination).resize(...)`, and resize is not part of the Random Access Range Concept.

A test case is attached; it fails to compile with the following error:

<path>/boost/1.61.0/include/boost/geometry/algorithms/detail/overlay/convert_ring.hpp:90:45: error: no member named
      'resize' in 'boost::iterator_range<std::__1::__wrap_iter<std::__1::vector<point, std::__1::allocator<point> > *> >'
                interior_rings(destination).resize(
                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^

Is this an error in convert_ring.hpp, or are there additional requirements on the interior type which are not documented?

Any Boost developers have insight on this problem?

Assign to the good library next time.

This should be assigned to "geometry" not polygon.
