24 // Revision History
25 // 04 Mar 2001 - More attempted fixes for Intel C++ (David Abrahams)
26 // 03 Mar 2001 - Put all implementation into namespace
27 // boost::detail::iterator_traits_. Some progress made on fixes
28 // for Intel compiler. (David Abrahams)
29 // 02 Mar 2001 - Changed BOOST_MSVC to BOOST_MSVC_STD_ITERATOR in a few
30 // places. (Jeremy Siek)
31 // 19 Feb 2001 - Improved workarounds for stock MSVC6; use yes_type and
32 // no_type from type_traits.hpp; stopped trying to remove_cv
33 // before detecting is_pointer, in honor of the new type_traits
34 // semantics. (David Abrahams)
35 // 13 Feb 2001 - Make it work with nearly all standard-conforming iterators
36 // under raw VC6. The one category remaining which will fail is
37 // that of iterators derived from std::iterator but not
38 // boost::iterator and which redefine difference_type.
39 // 11 Feb 2001 - Clean away code which can never be used (David Abrahams)
40 // 09 Feb 2001 - Always have a definition for each traits member, even if it
41 // can't be properly deduced. These will be incomplete types in
42 // some cases (undefined<void>), but it helps suppress MSVC errors
43 // elsewhere (David Abrahams)
44 // 07 Feb 2001 - Support for more of the traits members where possible, making
45 // this useful as a replacement for std::iterator_traits<T> when
46 // used as a default template parameter.
47 // 06 Feb 2001 - Removed useless #includes of standard library headers
48 // (David Abrahams)
