Problems with proto::N under MSVC 2010

[ru.elric@…]

I'm using boost 1.44 with MSVC 2010.

It seems that proto::N cannot be used as array size wildcard with types other than char with this compiler.

For example, using the following grammar:

struct grammar:
  proto::terminal<wchar_t[proto::N]>
{};

leads to the following compilation error:

traits.hpp(382): error C2148: total size of array must not exceed 0x7fffffff bytes
1>          matches.hpp(409) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::proto::terminal<T>' being compiled
1>          with
1>          [
1>              T=wchar_t [2147483647]
1>          ]
1>          matches.hpp(1005) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::proto::detail::matches_<Expr,Grammar>' being compiled
...

Test source attached.
