But it is about to instantiate std::distance, right? Even if not right, my point is still that one should notified of the existence of std::distance somehow. > ICC produces about the same error message: > /opt/intel/include/c++/xutility(290): error: class "std::vector<double, std::allocator<double>>" has no > member "iterator_category" > typedef typename _Iter::iterator_category iterator_category; > ^ > detected during instantiation of class "std::iterator_traits<_Iter> [with _Iter=std::vector<double, > std::allocator<double>>]" at line 12 of "t.cc" > compilation aborted for t.cc (code 2) Do you think this message is helpful for a user that encounters this problem? That is just one place to show that GCC can do better than commercial compilers. Yongwei -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15910
