warning "type qualifiers ignored on function return type" in ptr_map

[boris.bigott@…]

The following program compiled with gcc using options -W and -Wall spits out a warning about ignored type qualifiers.

test.cpp: #include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_map.hpp> int main() { }

g++ -W -Wall test.cpp ../include/boost/ptr_container/detail/map_iterator.hpp:52: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type

It seems like there is a superfluous const in the -> operator. const ref_pair* const operator->() const should be const ref_pair* operator->() const

any progress here? that warning is annoying :(

[ravishankar@…]

Could be avoided by #pragma GCC push_options #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wignored-qualifiers" #include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_map.hpp> #pragma GCC pop_options

But there is really simple, safety and tiny fix, described above. I can't understand a reason why it isn't fixed still.

Maybe it is a do it yourself repository? I had to clean it up for a fussy build wrapper! Thanks!

if I use those pragmas I'm getting segfaults with boost program_options.

I just ran in to this, too. How about fixing it by removing the second const?

Patch for this issue that removes the second 'const'

It would be nice to get this trivial issue taken care of!

This patch works, would be nice if it would get applied
