This is a little too broad, since it fails to check whether the remaining parameters are integral; I judged that device constructors whose first parameter is an instance of the device itself would be pretty rare. </p> <p> I was able to reproduce the error with VC8.0 on a 32-bit OS with this code: </p> <blockquote> <p> typedef stream&lt;file_source&gt; my_stream; my_stream s(file_source(""), (long) 100); </p> </blockquote> <p> The modification to forward.hpp allows the above to compile. </p> <p> See <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/46047" title="in forward.hpp, disabled forwarding constructors and overloads of open ...">[46047]</a> </p> Ticket
