I use vc 9.0 to compile the following code with boost 1.39.0 and range_ex.

   #include<string>
   #include<boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
   #include<boost/range/algorithm.hpp>

   int main() {
   std::string s = "hello";
   boost::find_first(s, "lo");
   return 0;
   }

The compiler will complain ambiguous call to overload function "find". I found there's also a "find" in boost/range/algorithm.hpp. Even worse when I change the type of "s" to const std::string, the compiler will resolute "find" call as the one in boost/range/algorithm.hpp

and reports an error "const_iterator is not a member of std::_String_const_iterator". Now I just indicated the "find" call in boost::find_first explicitly. Is there a better way to solve it?

I'm not sure why there should be any conflict. I will test this problem out over the weekend. Would you please clarify which RangeEx you are using. Are you using the latest version from the vault in the algorithm directory? I appreciate that these difficulties would not occur, if I had managed to get this code into the trunk of subversion.

Thanks!
