td11748021.html

Attempted use of /Gm of course did not fix the problem (not sure why the 
OP did that to begin with as it's pretty much incompatible with building 
for release).

Information in this thread lead to an *apparent* sollution:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/23065

But I'm not really impressed by that sollution and the commentary on it 
lead me to believe that I should not need it since I'm not making a 
library.

The issue appears when I set the /Yu flag (use precompiled headers) in 
Visual Studio 2010. (10.0.30319.1)  Without this flag active the program 
eventually compiles and links without issue.  With the flag active I get 
exactly the same error as the OP though this is not regarding the 
tutorial code, which I have not tested.  I also have to set /Zm200 or 
the build doesn't even get started (something about the space not being 
large enough for my 50 line header).

The precompiled header is NOT including anything in boost statechart.  
The only boost related includes are:

#define BOOST_PARAMETER_MAX_ARITY 20

#include <boost/cast.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>
#include <boost/format.hpp>
#include <boost/parameter.hpp>
#include <boost/signals2.hpp>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#include <boost/optional.hpp>

And through other includes Boost.Units.

I am not building a library nor is any of the statechart code in a 
library, though the build process does say it creates a .lib with the 
same name as the .exe I ask for but that also happens in debug.  The 
whole thing is in a header that is included by the .cpp file that 
generates the .obj that causes the linker error.  Again, debug builds 
work perfectly well with the same flags that cause the problem in 
release.

Boost version is 1.42

Would like to know what's going on, how to correctly fix it, etc...
