4464	gccxml error with msvc 9 and boost	Christopher Bruns <cmbruns@…>	Peder Holt	"
I am using gccxml, built from current cvs at
  www.gccxml.org:/cvsroot/GCC_XML
On Windows XP SP3, with Visual Studio version 9.0.30729.1 SP (SP1)

// file test.hpp:
{{{
#include <boost/typeof/typeof.hpp>
}}}

typing this command:


{{{
   gccxml -I""C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_43_0"" test.hpp
}}}


yields the following error message:

##################

{{{
In file included from C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_43_0/boost/typeof/typeof.hpp:103,
                 from test3.hpp:1:
C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_43_0/boost/typeof/msvc/typeof_impl.hpp:151: error: qualified name does not name a class before '{' token
}}}

##################

The code in question appears on a block of the form


{{{
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC,==1300)
// Code specific to VC 7.0.
#elif BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC,>=1400)
// Code for VC 8.0 and above.
#else
// Code commented with ""This uses nice VC6.5 and VC7.1 bugfeature""
// that does not work with gccxml.  Error is reported here.
#endif
}}}


I'd guess it should be choosing the middle block here.  My fumbling attempts at preprocessor debugging suggest that the ""BOOST_MSVC"" macro is undefined when gccxml is emulating msvc here.

The gccxml preprocessor simulates the definitions
of the target compiler, but adds __GCCXML__ to distinguish
itself.

Sorry I don't have a patch to submit.  I'm unsure what the right way to handle this is.
