[Boost-users] Simple inclusion of (1.47.0) filesystem.hpp generates compiler errors.

Hello Users,

Qt      v4.7.2
Boost v1.47.0.
Intel Compiler v 12.0.1029.2010
Windows 7 Ultimate N x64
Building an x64 Release binary

I have just included the boost/filesystem.hpp file in to my application and
re-compiled only for the compiler to generate these errors.

As yet I am not using any of the functionality of this I just included the
file. Is this another Intel / MSVC STL issue?

Sorry for the dump but without it I assume you won't be able to help.

The two errors above are repeated and repeated many times so I removed then
to save bandwidth, space and time.
