Re: [boost] Boost 1.45 compile error

Subject: Re: [boost] Boost 1.45 compile error
From: Peder Holt (peder.holt_at_[hidden])
Date: 2010-11-20 11:35:49

The culprit is in line 156 in boost/typeof/msvc/typeof_impl.hpp
# if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC,==1310)
This entire if branch should be removed. A minimal fix for this release is
to change from 1310 to some other arbitrary non-version number.
I have no idea why the typeof regression tests does not pick up this error.

Peder
