[Boost-users] boost::test 1.33 compile problem on VC7.0+STLport (1.32 fine)

Hi,

I just upgraded to Boost 1.33 and a set of my unit test routines written
against boost::test 1.32 have suddenly started reporting compile errors.
I can trigger the issue very simply:

---
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test_framework.hpp>
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
using namespace boost::unit_test;
test_suite*
init_unit_test_suite( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
	test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "tests" );
}
---
In Boost 1.32 this works fine, in Boost 1.33 it reports:
---
c:\temp\boost_1_33_0\boost\test\impl\framework.ipp(305) : error C2440:
'initializing' : cannot convert from 'long' to 'boost::unit_test::for
_each::static_any_t'
        Reason: cannot convert from 'long' to 'const

	        No constructor could take the source type, or constructor
overload resolution was ambiguous

.. and so on (hits upper error limit).
I've just reverted back to 1.32 for now, but can you tell me why this
happens?
Many thanks
