The following compiles under Visual C++ .Net with "Language
Extensions" enabled, but it fails otherwise:
#include <boost/token_iterator.hpp>
int main()
{
    return 0;
}
The received errors are:
d:\Programming\boost\boost\detail\iterator.hpp(174) : error
C2061: syntax error : identifier 'value_type'
d:\Programming\boost\boost\mpl\aux_\preprocessed\msvc70\or.hpp(27)
: error C2970: 'boost::mpl::aux::or_impl' : template
argument 'C_' : invalid use of non-integral-constant static
variable 'value' as non-type argument
(and 4 more similar to the last one)
How can I fix this? Any help will be appreciated.
Hector C.

I'm assigning this to John Bandela, the token iterator author, in case he wants to take responsibility for it.  However, it looks very much like a compiler bug (vc7 is rife with them) and if I were John I'd probably close it as "won't fix" because the compiler is two versions out-of-date and finding a workaround is likely to be difficult.

component, description changed; severity set

component None → iterator
description modified (diff)
severity → Problem

status, resolution, component changed

Marshall Clow — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 05:10:36 GMT

status assigned → closed
resolution None → fixed
component iterator → tokenizer

The test file "simple_example_5.cpp" for the tokenizer library includes this file, and passes the regression tests on both VS 7.1, and 8.0.

Marking as fixed.
