Are you using native typeof or typeof emulation?

Are you using native typeof or typeof emulation?

I apologize if I am spamming you, but my answer hasn't been showing up in my view of the ticket, so I'm trying yet again.

I'm using the default settings, which say in the output Window that native typeof is being used. Note also that this works in VS2010 but not in VS2008, so it is MSVC-version specific.

Thanks. I can confirm the problem with both native typeof and typeof emulation. BOOST_TYPEOF_NESTED_TYPEDEF doesn't help either. I've reduced it to

template<typename T>
int typeof_register_type(const T&);
struct S {
    virtual void f() = 0;
    enum {
        _typeof_register_value=sizeof(::typeof_register_type(&S::f))
    };
};

I'm afraid that there is no way for Boost.Typeof to avoid this problematic construct.
