History

- -An earlier version of this concept checking system was developed by -the author while working at SGI in their C++ compiler and library -group. The earlier version is now part of the SGI STL distribution. The -boost concept checking library differs from the concept checking in -the SGI STL in that the definition of concept checking classes has -been greatly simplified, at the price of less helpful verbiage in the -error messages. - -

Acknowledgements

- -The idea to use function pointers to cause instantiation is due to -Alexander Stepanov. I am not sure of the origin of the idea to use -expressions to do up-front checking of templates, but it did appear in -D&E[ -2]. -Thanks to Matt Austern for his excellent documentation and -organization of the STL concepts, upon which these concept checks -are based. Thanks to Boost members for helpful comments and -reviews.
