I have just tried to use Boost for the first time and it appears to
not take kindly to unnamed enums from another library I use and (once
those were named) some Microsoft SDK. I am using:
Windows XP SP3
Visual Studio 2008 SP1
Boost 1.41.0
More specifically, after adding '#include
// This forward declaration is required for the friend declaration // in iterator_core_access template
class iterator_facade;
I went through and named a each of the unnamed enums as the compiler referenced them until I got to an issue with shlwapi.h from a Microsoft SDK. Here's the complete compiler error list at that point: 1>c:\korvis\boost\include\boost\iterator\iterator_facade.hpp(43) : error C2332: 'class' : missing tag name
