The problem can be reproduced even more simply:<div><br></div><div>BOOST_STATIC_WARNING(false);</div><div><br></div><div>does not produce a warning on my machine.</div><div><br></div><div>If I make my own (not as versatile) version, which mimics the way Boost actually does it without all the MPL stuff, it works:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>namespace detail</div><div>{</div><div>� � template <typename TIntegralContant></div><div>� � inline void test_warning(const TIntegralContant&)</div><div>� � {</div><div>� � � � static_cast<void>(1 / TIntegralContant::value);</div>
<div>� � }</div><div>}</div><div><br></div><div>#define MY_STATIC_WARNING(value_) \</div><div>� � ::detail::test_warning(::boost::integral_constant<bool, value_ >())</div><div><br></div><div>So it isn't that g++ won't emit a warning for that error, it just seems to get lost somewhere.</div>

<div><br></div><div>It looks like BOOST_STATIC_WARNING (<a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/serialization/doc/static_warning.html" style="color:rgb(17, 65, 112)" target="_blank">http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/serialization/doc/static_warning.html</a>) would be ideal for me, however, I cannot get it to actually emit a warning. �I have attached a quick example of what I am looking for, but it essentially boils down to this not doing anything:</div>
