Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #2864: Compilation error if container definition is inside of linked class

You can try using list_base_hook instead of list_member_hook.

Ok, thank you. It helped partly. Now I can use following

struct Linked : public list_base_hook<>
{
    list<Linked> m_children;
};

with one limitation - it's impossible to use tags. Also I've reproduced this issue on mingw ((GCC) 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3))

Your report is not a bug, it's standard C++, since you can't define a pointer to member "&Linked::_myhook" to the class inside the class (the compiler can't deduce the offset of the element). That's an inherent limitation of member hooks.

Why do you say is impossible to use tags when using base hooks?
