[Boost-users] enable_if, type_traits and Visual C++ 7.0

3 Nov 2005

      Hello all,

I am trying to get enable if to work with Visual C++ 7.0 and boost 1.33.

for the following member function implemenation I get an error:

	template<>
		typename boost::enable_if<boost::is_pointer<_ElemFct::result_type>, _ElemFct::result_type>::type
		operator->()
	{
		return get_at(ptr_coll, pos);
	}

	template<>
		typename boost::enable_if<boost::is_reference<_ElemFct::result_type>,
boost::add_pointer<_ElemFct::result_type>::type>::type
		operator->()
	{
		return &(get_at(ptr_coll, pos));
	}

My compiler is in German. I have tried to translate the error messages...

error C2504: 'boost::enable_if_does_not_work_on_this_compiler<T>' : Base class undefined
        with
