Thanks for the report. In the standard these functions return void:

So documentation should be corrected.

status changed; resolution set

Thanks for your reply.

Until C++03 standard, these functions return void. But from C++11 standard, these functions were revised.

I think that basic_string (and other container in Boost.Container) would be better off returning an iterator for "C++11 Conformance".

Thanks again, I see the change in N3776 from the pre-standard draft N3337. Reopened for future fix.

It was fixed in Boost 1.52.
