ptr_container compiler error with BOOST_RESULT_OF_DECLTYPE

[Nathan Ridge <zeratul976@…>]

The following code:

#include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_set.hpp>
struct A
{
    bool operator<(const A&) const;
};
int main()
{
    boost::ptr_set<A> s;
    return 0;
}

gives the following compiler errors when compiling with BOOST_RESULT_OF_USE_DECLTYPE defined:

I am compiling with g++ 4.5 with the --std=c++0x flag. The error goes away if I do not define BOOST_RESULT_OF_USE_DECLTYPE.

I don't have access to a compiler with this feature yet. It would greatly help me if you could submit a patch.

kind regards
