[Boost-users] type_traits, ublas and VC++7.0

Hi!
I'm working with the boost::numeric::ublas library and I'm having some
problems, but I'm posting here because I think the problem is due to the
type_traits library. In fact, with Visual C++ 7.0 this piece of code
does not compile, with the error C2529: "reference to reference is
illegal".

------------------------------------

#include <boost/type_traits.hpp>
#include <complex>

//typedef double value_t;
typedef std::complex<double> value_t;

int main()
{
        // reference to reference!!!
        boost::remove_reference<value_t&>::type const &a (value_t (0.));
        return 0;
}

-----------------------------------

With value_t == double everything works fine.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Lorenzo.
