Member hooks do not work with base classes

[Mathias Gaunard]

It is not possible to do the following:

struct A
{
    list_member_hook<> hook;
};

struct B : A
{
};

typedef list<B, member_hook<A, list_member_hook<>, &A::hook> > mylist;

(Note &B::hook has type list_member_hook<> A::*, so putting B as the first parameter to member_hook doesn't work.)

This results in a static assert that A and B are not the same type.

The best way to fix this might be to add a base_member_hook<B, A, &A::hook> helper.

I would consider this as a feature request.

You can use function_hook to implement this feature in Boost 1.47
