5701	lexertl token_value_type returns const unused for nonconst ref	Peter Schueller <schueller.p@…>	Hartmut Kaiser	"Compiling the following source file creates an error with clang (trunk version):

{{{
#include <boost/spirit/include/lex_lexertl.hpp>
}}}

The error (I think clang is right not to accept this code) is:

{{{
In file included from bug_unused_const.cpp:1:

                                           ^~~~~~
}}}

The token_value_type return value is a nonconst unused_type, whereas unused is a const object of unused_type.

This is true both in trunk and release branch."	Bugs	closed	To Be Determined	spirit	Boost Release Branch	Problem	fixed
