I get the following error when trying to use the filesystem library on MSVC 6.0 :
error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME'
The line causing the problem is in the \detail\iterator.hpp file:
template <class T> type_traits::yes_type is_mutable_iterator_helper(T const*, BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME T::value_type*);
I have run a config Test and both BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME and BOOST_NO_DEDUCED_TYPENAME are defined but have no value.
Clearly not, in the code you're compiling, or you wouldn't see a syntax error about that identifier. It would just melt away into nothing before the parser got to look at it.
Since MSVC 6.0 supports the 'typename' keyword
It barely does. BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME is there (and empty on vc6) because in many contexts it is rejected incorrectly.
I would think that the declaration above in the iterator.hpp file should use 'typename' rather than BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME. Anyone else experience this problem?
I think it's just missing #include
