VC2010 compile error

[matt-bradbury@…]

Compiling with the RTM Visual Studio 2010 Professional I get the following compile error.

This is bug #3594, which is fixed in Trunk but references the full VC version number rather than just the major version, so it might need updating. Probably better to just check for '10' rather than the full version at this point?

hope no one minds me changing the component to property_tree.

[Richard Webb <richard.webb@…>]

For reference, _MSC_FULL_VER is 160030319 in the release version of VC10.

(In [61606]) MSVC 10 final did not fix the std::pair bug as I had hoped, so update the workaround.

Fixes bug 4092

[Jeremiah Willcock]

(In [63563]) Merged r59734 and r61606 from trunk; fixes #3594 and #4092

I am trying to compile boost 1.45 using the recently released Intel Composer XE 2011 for Windows. I am running into the same error. I have changed the check for BOOST_MSVC to include BOOST_INTEL_WIN (line 19 of boost/property_tree/detail/ptree_implementation.hpp) and can compile successfully. Not sure if this is the proper fix, so I hope the author/maintainer can look into this and fix this.

[Edward Rankin <erankin@…>]

This is still present for Intel Compilers in 1.46.1. Should I open a new ticket?

[Marshall Clow]

Yes, you should open a new ticket.
