Comment (by michel):

 > I am not able to understand that what info you want from me to get rid
 of this issue.

 ADL depends on the type of arguments, but that info is missing in this
 ticket.
 So we cannot reproduce the error.
 Also note that, since some compilers have bugs, it is helpful for
 developers
 to know what compiler (and which version) is used.

 Unfortunately, Boost 1.34 is too old so you may get only a little help
 (even if you provide enough info) as John said.
 But anyway, here's a possible fix:

   `boost::begin` (`end`) itself is not a customization point,
   so don't use it as an unqualifed call (i.e. `begin(Input)`);
   if you intend to use `boost::begin`, qualify `begin` with `boost::`
   (i.e. `boost::begin(Input)`).

   See the bottom of

 page]].
