Hello Markus,

I can confirm this (VC8, debug).

> 2. Do you have a quick fix workaround for this?

How about "#define NDEBUG" :-)

I'm no expert on ADL, so I have no idea whether VC8 is allowed to fail
here. VC8 seems to fail as soon as I define any template function named
sqrt inside the boost or boost::numeric namespace. I have no idea how to
work around that. Perhaps I should investigate why "#define NDEBUG"
works around the problem.

> 3. Can this be fixed in future versions of boost

I don't even know what causes the problem in the first place. Moving
numeric/interval to a separate namespace would probably avoid the
current problem, but this is not what I would call "fixed".

I think you should report the problem to the ublas mailing list, where
you initially also reported your "non-boiled down" problem.

Regards,
Thomas

Subject: [boost] [1.36][ublas] VC8/SP1 with ADL problem?

Hi!

Posting to devel, since I believe sucking ADL may be the cause ...
I have a headache problem with VC8/SP1 which leads to some questions.

1. Can you confirm this behaviour?
2. Do you have a quick fix workaround for this?
3. Can this be fixed in future versions of boost

The following innocent looking piece of code (boiled down within 2 days
-sigh)

---snip---
#include <boost/numeric/interval.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/traits.hpp>

#include <boost/numeric/ublas/vector.hpp>

namespace ublas = boost::numeric::ublas;

void trigger_ublas_compile_error()
{ 
        ublas::vector<double> boom = ublas::zero_vector<double>(5);
}
---EOF---

compiled with VC8 SP1 in DEBUG mode with a command line similar to
(some private include paths ripped off)

/Od /I "PATH_TO\boost_1_36_beta"  /D "WIN32" /D "_WINDOWS" /D "_DEBUG" 
/D "_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" /D "_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" 
/D "BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB" /D "_MBCS" /Gm /EHsc /RTC1 /MTd 
/Fo"Debug\\" /Fd"Debug\vc80.pdb" /W3 /nologo /c /ZI /TP 
/errorReport:prompt  /bigobj

bails out with

Ugly as it is: it will compile in any release mode, be it static or
dynamic 
linkage :-(
