The following snippet does not compile with VS2015 and boost 1.61. What should the correct way to do it? Thanks.

// compile with cl.exe /EHSc

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE pair

#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

std::pair<uint32_t, uint32_t> v()

{

    return std::make_pair(0, 0);

}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(range)

{

    BOOST_TEST(std::make_pair(0, 0) == v());

}

Here’s the error message:
