Hi,

It seems the compiler is not seen it is inside an outer macro.
In this case it seems that we need another macro e.g.BOOST_NESTED_TYPENAME. You could try to follow the protocol of adding a new macro andpropose apatch to John.

An other alternative: I suspect that the nested structure is code that you generate with your macros in Boost.Local orBoost.Contract. I propose you to define a nested template

template
void f(T& x) {
template 
struct s {
T g() {
typename boost::remove_reference::type i = 0;
return i;
}
};
x = s().g();
}

HTH,
Vicente
