<a name="id2289581"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
The standard usage of
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/proto/extends.html" title="Struct template extends">proto::extends&lt;&gt;</a></code>
is to define a class template that inherits from it. The derived class template automatically gets a
compiler-generated assignment operator that hides the ones defined in
<code class="computeroutput"><a class="link" href="boost/proto/extends.html" title="Struct template extends">proto::extends&lt;&gt;</a></code>.
Using <code class="computeroutput">BOOST_PROTO_EXTENDS_USING_ASSIGN()</code> in the derived class solves this problem.
</p>
<p>
However, if the expression extension is an ordinary class and not a class template, the usage of
<code class="computeroutput">BOOST_PROTO_EXTENDS_USING_ASSIGN()</code> is in a so-called non-dependent context. In plain English,
it means it is illegal to use <code class="computeroutput">typename</code> in some places where it is required in a class template.
In those cases, you should use <code class="computeroutput">BOOST_PROTO_EXTENDS_USING_ASSIGN_NON_DEPENDENT()</code> instead.
