Hello, I am trying to use boost::is_same in the folloting case enum eOperation { ePlus = 0, eMinus, eMult, eDivide }; template<eOperation P, eOperation Q> boost::shared_ptr<std::vector<intervalPtr> > convertIntervals() const { BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT( (boost::is_same<P, eDivide>::value && boost::is_same<Q, eMinus>::value) || (boost::is_same<P, eMult>::value && boost::is_same<Q, ePlus>::value)); static const double dNoOfSecsInADay(3600*24); boost::shared_ptr<std::vector<intervalPtr> > out(new std::vector<intervalPtr>(m_intervals.size())); // more code here return out; } Could someone help me with this? it does not compile at all on VC++2010. The error i get is 1>Pshemek -> this needs to be improved, no constructor calls at all when merged back to HEAD 1>d:\dev\13_1x\development\cpp\market\event.cpp(668) : error C2974: 'boost::is_same' :
