Hi,

I’m trying to change our boost version from 1.38 to 1.55, and am getting these compilation errors:

1>D:\RootReferences\boost_1_55_0\boost/math/special_functions/detail/round_fwd.hpp(24): warning C4002: too many actual parameters for macro 'trunc'

The code doesn’t matter as the errors occur as soon as I have an include for lexical_cast, i.e.

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>

This is using Visual Studio 2010.

Any ideas as to what the problem is?

Thanks,
