Hello, All!

I write simple code:
=============mpl_enum.cpp=============
#include <boost/mpl/range_c.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/for_each.hpp>
#include <iostream>

enum test_e {ONE, TWO, THREE};

void f(test_e e) {
  const char* names[] = {"ONE", "TWO", "THREE"};
  std::cout<<names[e]<<std::endl;
}

typedef boost::mpl::range_c<
  test_e, ONE, static_cast<test_e>(THREE + 1)
> range;

int main() {
  boost::mpl::for_each<range>(f);
  return 0;
}

However gcc v3.2.3, icl v 7.1, bcc32 v5.6.4 compile it.
(bcc32 show 3 equivalent warning).

How use it in MSVC 7?
