Hi folks,

 

I'm upgrading a old project, first created using Visual Studio 2008, to Visual Studio 2012.  This project uses the boost libraries to implement regular expressions, and a few other things.

 

When I try to compile, I get somewhere north of 2000 errors, all stemming from iterator_adaptor.hpp.  Here's a sample…

----------------

 

The project builds without any errors under VS 2008.

 

Is 1.44 too old to use in VX 2012?  I know that Microsoft has changed some of the underlying libraries, so do I need 1.51?
