I am making small progress in my attempt to generate a new mpl sequence that I will use to read from  a stream.

The following code fails to compile:

#include <boost/tuple/tuple.hpp>

#include <boost/mpl/vector_c.hpp>

#include <boost/mpl/transform.hpp>

#include <boost/fusion/adapted/struct/adapt_struct.hpp>

#include <boost/fusion/include/adapt_struct.hpp>

#include <boost/fusion/mpl.hpp>                  // makes params a MPL sequence

#include <boost/fusion/support/is_sequence.hpp>

#include <boost/fusion/include/is_sequence.hpp>

struct params {

double       d1;

double       d2;                 

double       d3;                 

unsigned int i4;

unsigned int i5;

unsigned int i6;

unsigned int i7;

};

BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT(

  params,

  (double, d1)

  (double, d2)

  (double, d3)

  (unsigned int, i4)

  (unsigned int, i5)

  (unsigned int, i6)

  (unsigned int, i7)

)

BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( boost::fusion::traits::is_sequence<params> ));  // passes

template <typename T1>

struct rangify {

typedef boost::tuple<T1, T1, T1> type;   /// min max incr

};

template <typename T>

struct fixed_or_range {

typedef struct {

union {

     T                         fixed;

typename rangify<T>::type range;

    };

bool is_fixed;

  }

  type;

};

typedef boost::mpl::transform< params, fixed_or_range<boost::mpl::_> >::type params_fixed_or_range;

I understand that after the macro BOOST_FUSION_ADAPT_STRUCT , params is a fusion sequence.

Including <boost/fusion/mpl.hpp> made params a MPL sequence, and therefore I can call boost::mpl::transform<>  on it.

The compilation error is

c:\program files (x86)\boost_1_41_0\boost\mpl\clear.hpp(30) : error C2903: 'apply' : symbol is neither a class template nor a function template
