3746	list_iterator::operator == fails to accept a non-const var to the left and a const one to the right	gvlad@…	Ion Gaztañaga	"The following code fails to compile (msvc 9):

using namespace boost::intrusive;
struct my_struct : list_base_hook<> {};
typedef list<my_struct> my_list;
my_list l;
my_list::const_iterator it = l.begin();
if (l.end() == it) {} // fails
if (it == l.end()) {} // succeeds

If to use std::list there is no such problem because std::list::iterator is derived from std::list::const_iterator.
My suggesion is to use template ""operator =="" for list_iterator that accepts both const and non-const interator. For example:

(""list_node.hpp"")
template <bool IsOtherConst>
bool operator== (const list_iterator<Container, IsOtherConst>& i) const
   {  return members_.nodeptr_ == i.pointed_node();   }"	Bugs	closed	Boost 1.45.0	intrusive	Boost 1.41.0	Problem	fixed
