I believe that .back() is broken. However, when I test on LiveWorkspace (link removed for spam checks) it seems to work with any available compiler. So either it's LiveWorkspace which use an older boost version, or this issue arise only on VC. " Bugs closed To Be Determined container Boost 1.53.0 Regression fixed
