[Boost-users] odd msvc 7.1 compilation errors with mpl

For some reason, I can't get the IDE to compile BOOST_MPL_ASSERT. I tried this:

#include <boost/type_traits/is_same.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/assert.hpp>

int main()
{
  BOOST_MPL_ASSERT(( boost::is_same< char, char > ));
}

and it gives the following errors:

    d:\dev\boost.cvs\boost\libs\fusion\example\extension\test_example.cpp(31) :
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '='
    d:\dev\boost.cvs\boost\libs\fusion\example\extension\test_example.cpp(31) :
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '='

what's even stranger is that i copied/pasted the pre-processed file, and that
compiled just fine:

static const std::size_t mpl_assertion_in_line_26 = sizeof(
boost::mpl::assertion_failed<false>( boost::mpl::assert_arg( (void (*) (
boost::is_same< char, char > ))0, 1 ) ) );

anyone else seen something like this before?? all the mpl regression tests
compile fine via bjam (using msvc 7.1), so it appears ide-specific, somehow...

thanks,
