    Is this a bug of boost::tokenizer ?

    Here is the code. When
    Code:
    string line("dd-9c32d00@3");
    is changed to
    Code:
    string line("dd-9c32d00");
    The program crashes.
    It seems that tok.end() does not bound the end of string parsing?

    Code:
    #include <boost/tokenizer.hpp>                                                               
    using namespace std;                                                                                                            
    using namespace boost;
    
    int main(){
        //string line("dd-9c32d00@3");
        string line("dd-9c32d00");// crashes!
        typedef boost::tokenizer< boost::char_separator<char> > token;
        boost::char_separator<char> sep("@");
        token tok(line, sep);
                                                                                                                                               
        token::iterator itt=tok.begin();                               
        if (itt==tok.end())                                                                                                        
            cout<<*itt; 
        else                                                                                                         
            cout<<*(++itt);
                                                                                                                                                                                 
        return 0;                   
    }

    My question actually is, how to tell if 'itt' is the last piece delimited by the token? I compared it with tok.end(). If false it is not, otherwise it is.

    Read the example.

    If the iterator is pointing to the end of the tokenizer, then you *don't* want to access the iterator, as it does not contain a valid token.
