Yep. The declaration in custom.pl takes a pointer.

And there's only a declaration, no definition.
I'm looking inside vallist.h, and there appears to be code that handles
vector<bool> arrays, but it also requires you to mess with manipulators.
There's a factory function called equal_list() that goes like this (untested):
query << "SELECT * FROM stock WHERE " <<
equal_list(seq1, seq2, " AND ", " = ", manip, a);
Sequence 1 contains the field names, sequence 2 contains the values.
It expects the sequences to have begin() and end() iterator semantics.
The manipulator is used in the stream before each value (for escaping
or quoting).
This would be wonderful if I could do something like this:
equal_list(q.field_list(), q.value_list(),
" AND ", " = ", some_magical_manipulator, a);
But I can't find any code to support this behaviour.
I'll see if I can cook up a patch, unless someone beats me to it. :-)
