property_tree documentation error / ptree bug ?

[Mihai Barbos <mihai.barbos@…>]

boost 1.46.1 More or less straight out of the docu:

#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp> boost::property_tree::ptree pt; boost::property_tree::ptree::const_iterator it = pt.find( "blabla" );

Compiler's opinion: error: conversion from ‘boost::property_tree::basic_ptree<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::less<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >::assoc_iterator’ to non-scalar type ‘boost::property_tree::basic_ptree<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, std::less<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > > >::const_iterator’ requested

$gcc --version $gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) 4.4.5

This is a documentation bug. find() returns a ptree::assoc_iterator.

Documentation should be fixed in r71994.
