<code class="literal">BOOST_FOREACH</code> uses some fairly sophisticated techniques
that not all compilers support. Depending on how compliant your compiler is,
you may not be able to use <code class="literal">BOOST_FOREACH</code> in some scenarios.
Since <code class="literal">BOOST_FOREACH</code> uses <a href="../../../libs/range/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Range</a>,
it inherits <a href="../../../libs/range/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Range</a>'s
portability issues. You can read about those issues in the <a href="../../../libs/range/doc/html/range/portability.html" target="_top">Boost.Range
Portability</a> section.
</p>
<p>
In addition to the demands placed on the compiler by <a href="../../../libs/range/index.html" target="_top">Boost.Range</a>,
<code class="literal">BOOST_FOREACH</code> places additional demands in order to handle
rvalue sequences properly. (Recall that an rvalue is an unnamed object, so
an example of an rvalue sequence would be a function that returns a <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">vector</span><span class="special">&lt;&gt;</span></code> by value.) Compilers vary in their
handling of rvalues and lvalues. To cope with the situation <code class="literal">BOOST_FOREACH</code>
defines three levels of compliance, described below:
