Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Can I return std::unique_ptr in a boost::future?

Is this code expected to work then? I just need to upgrade my boost? I'm
currently using 1.49. I just want to make sure before I go through the
work of upgrading boost.

Hi, please try defining BOOST_VERSION 4 and using boost::future instead 
and let me know.
