A better workaround is "#define BOOST_UBLAS_NDEBUG". However, this does not really fix the ADL problem, but just avoids the use of "type_traits<double>::type_sqrt" and "type_traits<double>::type_abs" for this example.

I checked with VC9 and gcc-3.4.4 and they also fail. So this is probably not a bug in VC8, but a problem in ublas. I read a bit about ADL and came to the conclusion that an anonymous namespace might be one possible solution for this problem (see attached patch). At least it seems to work with both VC9 and gcc-3.4.4 for this example.
(The intention behind ADL seems to be that the compiler looks in the namespace of the argument of the method call. So the lookup in the boost::numeric namespace doesn't seem to be intended. The anonymous namespace should avoid the lookup in the boost::numeric namespace, but still allow the lookup in the namespace of the argument of the method call.)

Thomas

Hello Markus,

I can confirm this (VC8, debug).

How about "#define NDEBUG" :-)
I'm no expert on ADL, so I have no idea whether VC8 is allowed to fail
here. VC8 seems to fail as soon as I define any template function named
sqrt inside the boost or boost::numeric namespace. I have no idea how to
work around that. Perhaps I should investigate why "#define NDEBUG"
works around the problem.
> 3. Can this be fixed in future versions of boost
I don't even know what causes the problem in the first place. Moving
numeric/interval to a separate namespace would probably avoid the
current problem, but this is not what I would call "fixed".
I think you should report the problem to the ublas mailing list, where
you initially also reported your "non-boiled down" problem.
Regards,
Thomas

Hi!
Posting to devel, since I believe sucking ADL may be the cause ...
I have a headache problem with VC8/SP1 which leads to some questions.
1. Can you confirm this behaviour?
2. Do you have a quick fix workaround for this?
3. Can this be fixed in future versions of boost
The following innocent looking piece of code (boiled down within 2 days
-sigh)

{
ublas::vector<double> boom = ublas::zero_vector<double>(5);
