6981	Can't use boost::ptr_vector<T>::auto_type as data member in GCC 4.6	Shuo Chen <giantchen@…>	Thorsten Ottosen	"The following code failed to compile with g++ 4.6.3 on Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS. 

{{{
#include <boost/noncopyable.hpp>
#include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp>

class Test : boost::noncopyable
{
};

class Pool : boost::noncopyable
{
 public:
  Pool();

 private:
  boost::ptr_vector<Test>::auto_type p_;
};

Pool::Pool()
{
}
}}}

the error is 
{{{

However, if I inline the constructor, it compiles fine.

{{{
class PoolOkay : boost::noncopyable
{
 public:
  PoolOkay()
  {
    // okay to inline constructor
  }

 private:
  boost::ptr_vector<Test>::auto_type p_;
};
}}}

Note: there is no error when compiling with g++ 4.4.3

I am not sure if it's a bug of ptr_container or gcc itself."	Bugs	new	To Be Determined	ptr_container	Boost 1.49.0	Problem
