6256	"Missing ""return"" statement in slice::get_indicies"	wainer.vandelli@…	Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve	"

The implementation of boost::python::slice::get_indicies in 1.48.0 always returns an uninitialized boost::python::slice::range structure, in fact silently breaking the backward compatibility. 

A ""return"" statement appears to be missing in boost/python/slice.hpp:251

{{{
// Incorrect spelling. DO NOT USE. Only here for backward compatibility.
// Corrected 2011-06-14.
template<typename RandomAccessIterator>
slice::range<RandomAccessIterator>
get_indicies( const RandomAccessIterator& begin,
     const RandomAccessIterator& end) const
{
   get_indices(begin, end);
}
}}}
