#11225 new Bugs

failed to compile with msvc8, variadics used wrong

Description

Hi,

in fusion there are now switches to generate code either for compilers that support variadics macros or don't. For that the macro BOOST_PP_VARIADICS macro used, but there is a corner case: vs2005 has an incomplete implementation of variadic macros, that will fail with empty sequences, i.e. see BOOST_PP_IS_EMPTY that handles this is in a special way.

Therefore variadics should not be used for generation here.

All code in boost/fusion that uses only BOOST_PP_VARIADICS needs to be extended with && (!defined(_MSC_VER)
defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER > 1400) to avoid compiler failures.

Original error message comes from boost/phoenix, where compiler complains that there are not enough actual arguments for BOOST_PP_IS_EMPTY and other macros.

Greetz, ILo.
