Hello, following minimal code compiles fine with 1.52 and BOOST_THREAD_VERSION defined to 3 but gives compilation error with 1.53 release (Visual Studio 2008 SP1, Win 7): #include <boost/move/move.hpp> #include <boost/thread/future.hpp> class Dummy { public: Dummy& operator=(BOOST_RV_REF(Dummy) other); Dummy& operator=(BOOST_COPY_ASSIGN_REF(Dummy) other); BOOST_COPYABLE_AND_MOVABLE(Dummy); }; Dummy createDummy(); int main() { boost::future<Dummy> df = boost::async(&createDummy); } Error message: 1>------ Build started: Project: boost_153_test, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Compiling... 1>main.cpp 1>c:\devel\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\future.hpp(661) : error C2665: 'boost::detail::future_traits<T>::init' : none of the 2 overloads could convert all the argument types 1> with 1> [ 1> T=Dummy 1> ] 1> c:\devel\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\future.hpp(525): could be 'void boost::detail::future_traits<T>::init(boost::scoped_ptr<T> &,Dummy &)' 1> with 1> [ 1> T=Dummy 1> ] 1> c:\devel\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\future.hpp(530): or 'void boost::detail::future_traits<T>::init(boost::scoped_ptr<T> &,boost::rv<T> &)' 1> with 1> [ 1> T=Dummy 1> ] 1> while trying to match the argument list '(boost::scoped_ptr<T>, const Dummy)' 1> with 1> [ 1> T=Dummy 1> ] 1> c:\devel\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\future.hpp(655) : while compiling class template member function 'void boost::detail::future_object<T>::set_value_at_thread_exit(const T &)' 1> with 1> [ 1> T=Dummy 1> ] 1> c:\devel\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\future.hpp(1542) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::detail::future_object<T>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> T=Dummy 1> ] 1> c:\devel\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\future.hpp(1415) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::shared_future<R>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> R=Dummy 1> ] 1> c:\devel\boost_1_53_0\boost\thread\future.hpp(1413) : while compiling class template member function 'boost::future<R>::future(boost::rv<T> &)' 1> with 1> [ 1> R=Dummy, 1> T=boost::future<Dummy> 1> ] 1> c:\users\bravo\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\boost_153_test\boost_153_test\main.cpp(19) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::future<R>' being compiled 1> with 1> [ 1> R=Dummy 1> ] 1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Users\Bravo\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\boost_153_test\boost_153_test\Debug\BuildLog.htm" 1>boost_153_test - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== Btw: why BOOST_THREAD_VERSION is still 2 when documentation says it is 4.0.0 as of boost 1.53?
