9780,Error in boost_typetraits std::min example?,evan.teran@…,John Maddock,"In the documentation for boost_typetraits, an example is given on how to improve std::min. However, at least at first glance it looks like there is a typo. The example reads:


{{{
template <class T, class U>
typename common_type<T, U>::type min(T t, T u)
{
   return t < u ? t : u;
}
}}}

Notice that type `T` is being used for the argument `u`. If I understand the example better, the point is that the return type of `min` will be the correct type. But I would expect the `u` parameter to still have the type `U` **not** `T`.

As it is, I believe that this code will cast the second parameter to type `T` when it is passed to the function.",Bugs,closed,To Be Determined,type_traits,Boost 1.55.0,Cosmetic,fixed,,
