6858,boost::get() calls wrongly resolved by g++,Roland Levillain <roland@…>,ebf,"Boost 1.49.0 seems to make g++ wrongly resolve some calls to `boost::get()`.

The attached C++ code `boost-get-test-ko.cc` does not compile properly with all the g++ compiler I used (Apple g++ 4.2, [http://www.macports.org MacPorts] g++ 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7) on my machine (2010 !MacBook Pro w/ Mac OS X version 10.6.8 and Boost 1.49.0 from the !MacPorts). These compilers try to use `boost::get()` from `boost/graph/reverse_graph.hpp` instead of `boost::get()` from `boost/variant/get.hpp`, leading to this kind of error messages:

If the `#include <boost/graph/transitive_closure.hpp>` statement is removed (see attached file `boost-get-test-ok.cc`, no compiling error arises.

This problem looks very similar to ticket #4838.

I have obtained similar results with SVN Boost on this platform as well as on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.4 on x86-64 with g++ 4.4.

The versions of clang++ I tried (!MacPorts clang++ 2.9, 3.0 and 3.1 on Mac OS X version 10.6 and clang 3.0 on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.4) have no trouble compiling both files.
