By the way, do you have a specific testcase in mind?

Because addressof_fn_test.cpp, part of Boost, passes...

This is probably a g++/gcc extension... some compilers do not allow references to functions to be casted to char&, and I believe the standard doesn't permit that, either.
I see. I'm a bit reluctant to add complexity to the code, given that
current Comeau and Intel, at least, in strict-mode, also like it...

If it works, there's certainly no need to add complexity.


Here's the ticket that prompted the boost::addressof changes:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1846

but it doesn't say which compiler didn't like it at the time. MSVC 8.0 also does.
