Unless you can provide details on which library and what usage causes this, it's pretty much impossible to diagnose this.

I have attached the screenshot of the error that is occuring during compilation. Please see if you can make sense of it.

Okay. The error seems to come from signals2. This error also shows up in our regression tests (http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/signals2.html). I suspect that the answer is that msvc 7.1 is not supported by signals2, but let's see if the maintainer has anything to say.

Yes, msvc 7.1 is unsupported. I don't use that compiler and wouldn't know where to begin working around an ICE in it.

I'm resolving as wontfix, although if someone else wants to figure out how to fix signals2 compilation under msvc7.1 that would be fine by me.
