6396	Implicit instanciation of boost::rv for non-cass types generates an error	danivy.mail@…	Ion Gaztañaga	"boost::rv<T> unconditionally inherits from T. During overload-resolution, the compiler is allowed to instanciate parameter types even if not strictly necessary, which can lead to instanciation of rv for non-class types, causing an error.

For example:

{{{
#include <boost/move/move.hpp>

template <typename T>
struct vector {
	void push_back(const T&) {}
	void push_back(BOOST_RV_REF(T)) {}
};

int main()
{
	vector<int> v;
	v.push_back(123);
}
}}}

Fails on Sun 5.12 with:

{{{
""/usr/include/boost/move/move.hpp"", line 231: Error: The base ""boost::T"" must be a previously defined class or struct.
""main.cpp"", line 12:     Where: While specializing ""boost::rv<int>"".
""main.cpp"", line 12:     Where: Specialized in non-template code.
}}}

And

{{{
#include <boost/move/move.hpp>

template <typename T>
class wrapper {
	BOOST_COPYABLE_AND_MOVABLE_ALT(wrapper)

public:
	wrapper(const T&) {}
	wrapper(BOOST_RV_REF(T)) {}
	wrapper(const wrapper&) {}
	wrapper(BOOST_RV_REF(wrapper)) {}
};

int main()
{
	wrapper<int> w1(123);
	wrapper<int> w2(boost::move(w1));
}
}}}

fails on GCC 4.4.3 with:

{{{
/usr/include/boost/move/move.hpp: In instantiation of ‘boost::rv<int>’:
main.cpp:17:   instantiated from here
/usr/include/boost/move/move.hpp:231: error: base type ‘int’ fails to be a struct or class type
