Fair enough. My impression was that this was because std::vector<bool> is "not a container" and that the specialization doesn't act like the parent container. My (possibly flawed) understanding was that they were planning on eliminating vector<bool> but were planning to introduce the same capability under a new name, e.g. bit_vector or something like it. If that's the case, the effort isn't lost. -Chris -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28587
