(...) I'm getting the same error with msvc9. Here's all that's needed to repro: #include <boost/function.hpp> I get 100+ compilation errors prior to getting to any non-boost code, starting with this error: \import\boost_1_37_0\include\boost/function/function_template.hpp(80) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'namespace' I suspect a configuration error; I've looked at BOOST_FUNCTION_NUM_ARGS and other definitions. Adding a pragma once in some of the boost headers gets me past the first error, but the rest remain. Reverting back to the original, with functional.hpp included first, compiling with /p option shows (which expands macros) the following output (skipped ahead to relevant parts, ellipsis added to cut out some noise (more filename listings)): namespace boost { #line 23 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/type_traits/is_void.hpp template< typename T > struct is_void : ::boost::integral_constant<bool,false> { }; template<> struct is_void< void > : ::boost::integral_constant<bool,true> { }; template<> struct is_void< void const > : ::boost::integral_constant<bool,true> { }; template<> struct is_void< void volatile > : ::boost::integral_constant<bool,true> { }; template<> struct is_void< void const volatile > : ::boost::integral_constant<bool,true> { }; #line 31 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/type_traits/is_void.hpp #line 33 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/type_traits/is_void.hpp } #line 1 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/type_traits/detail /bool_trait_undef.hpp" #line 37 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/type_traits/is_void.hpp #line 39 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/type_traits/is_void.hpp (...) #line 1 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/function/function_template.hpp #line 1 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/function/detail/prologue.hpp #line 14 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/function/function_template.hpp #pragma warning( push ) #pragma warning( disable : 4127 ) #line 19 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/function/function_template.hpp #line 41 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/function/function_template.hpp #line 79 \import\\boost_1_37_0\\include\\boost/function/function_template.hpp namespace boost { namespace detail { namespace function { template< typename FunctionPtr, typename R > struct function_invoker0 { static R invoke(function_buffer& function_ptr ) { FunctionPtr f = reinterpret_cast<FunctionPtr>(function_ptr.func_ptr); return f(); } }; template< typename FunctionPtr, typename R (...) And the first error is at line 80, ("namespace boost") as in the original posting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
