It's much faster without dynamic allocation.

Short answer. Try:

typename Machine_<EventT>::template g_row<StateFloat,   EventT, StateFloat, &Machine_<EventT>::guardToFloat>

Long answer: g_row is a type of state_machine_def and as your fsm is a template, it becomes a dependent type (=> typename) and a template one even (=> template).

C++ is sometimes really annoying :(

Longer answer. Give up this front-end, it's deprecated anyway. A better solution will be:

#include <boost/msm/front/functor_row.hpp>
using namespace boost::msm::front;

struct GuardToOdd
  {
      template <class EVT,class FSM,class SourceState,class TargetState>
      bool operator()(EVT const& num,FSM& ,SourceState& ,TargetState& )
      {
          const long long x = static_cast<long long>(num.getNum());
          return ((x == num.getNum()) // is Integral type
                  && ((x % 2) != 0));
      }
  };

Row< StateFloat,   EventT, StateOdd, none, GuardToOdd>
