215	compiler error using multi_array w/ <algorithm>	dtrauma	nobody	"{{{
[boost 1.30.2, gcc3.3.2]

Hi there,

when using multi_array I get compile time errors if I
try to use them with <algorithm> like this:

#include <algorithm>
#include <boost/multi_array.hpp>

int main () {
	//straight from the docs         
	typedef boost::multi_array<double, 3> array_type;
	typedef array_type::extent_range range;

	array_type::extent_gen extents;
 
	array_type A(extents[2][3][4]);
	
	//each of those will fail with
	//enough errors to fill a novel

	//read access
	std::find(A.begin(), A.end(), 42.);
	//write access
	std::fill(A.begin(), A.end(), 42.);
}

Is it my fault? I tried it with boost/array.hpp and it
worked, so I assumed it should work with multi-array, too.
So there are three possibilities:
	1.) I am a fool
	2.) multi_array fools me
	3.) gcc fools me
or any combination of those; could someone de-fool the
situation? :-)
