2289	Problem with BOOST_AUTO and this keyword on VC8/9	Richard Webb <Richard.Webb@…>	Peder Holt	"On both VC8SP1 and VC9SP1, the code

{{{
struct foo
{
	int i;

	foo::foo()
	{
		BOOST_AUTO(j, this->i);
	}
};
}}}


results in the compiler error

{{{

error C2355: 'this' : can only be referenced inside non-static member functions
error C2227: left of '->i' must point to class/struct/union/generic type

error C2955: 'boost::type_of::msvc_typeid_wrapper' : use of class template requires template argument list
        e:\boostsvn\boost\typeof\msvc\typeof_impl.hpp(209) : see declaration of 'boost::type_of::msvc_typeid_wrapper'
}}}

In both cases, changing it to simply BOOST_AUTO(j, i); allows it to compile.

The foreach lib used to have a similar problem (Ticket #1652), possibly down to the same compiler bug?"	Bugs	new	Boost 1.37.0	typeof	Boost 1.51.0	Problem
