Comment(by anonymous):

 Some more information. It seems that the problem resides with
 boost::result_of<F> being called as boost::result_of<F(AbstractType,
 AbstractType)>, even though F takes AbstractType& as argument. This
 doesn't compile in Microsoft Visual C++ 2008, though it has been said to
 work in some other compilers.
