<p>
<span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Container</strong></span> uses <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Move</strong></span>
to implement move semantics both in C++03 and C++11 compilers. However, as
explained in <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/doc/html/move/emulation_limitations.html" target="_top">Emulation
limitations</a>, there are some limitations in C++03 compilers that might
surprise <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Container</strong></span> users.
</p>
<p>
The most noticeable problem is when <span class="bold"><strong>Boost.Container</strong></span>
containers are placed in a struct with a compiler-generated assignment operator:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"><span class="keyword">class</span> <span class="identifier">holder</span>
<span class="special">{</span>
<span class="identifier">boost</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">container</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">vector</span><span class="special">&lt;</span><span class="identifier">MyType</span><span class="special">&gt;</span> <span class="identifier">vect</span><span class="special">;</span>
<span class="special">};</span>
<span class="keyword">void</span> <span class="identifier">func</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">holder</span><span class="special">&amp;</span> <span class="identifier">h</span><span class="special">)</span>
<span class="special">{</span>
<span class="identifier">holder</span> <span class="identifier">copy_h</span><span class="special">(</span><span class="identifier">h</span><span class="special">);</span> <span class="comment">//&lt;--- ERROR: can't convert 'const holder&amp;' to 'holder&amp;'</span>
<span class="comment">//Compiler-generated copy constructor is non-const:</span>
<span class="comment">// holder&amp; operator(holder &amp;)</span>
<span class="comment">//!!!</span>
<span class="special">}</span>
</pre>
<p>
This limitation forces the user to define a const version of the copy assignment,
in all classes holding containers, which might be annoying in some cases.
