Re: [Boost-users] [extension] conflict with boost::optional

Hi,

it seems that the problem concerns a specific compiler bug in microsoft 
compilers <= 13.10.6030 (MSVC 7.1).

The MSVC8 and g++ (4.1.2) compilers are able to build the code without errors.

> #include <boost/optional/optional.hpp>    // included for some reason
> #include <boost/extension/shared_library.hpp>
> #include <boost/extension/convenience.hpp>    // load_single_library
> 
> void loadExtension () {
>     boost::extensions::factory_map fm;
>     // we don't need the following line to produce the compiler error
>     //boost::extensions::load_single_library(fm, ".", 
> "external_function_name");
> }

Any ideas how to get it to work with the good old Visual Studio 2003?
