[Boost-users] BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT is not compiled

11 Jan 2006

      Look at example code:

class CBase
{
public:
	virtual ~CBase(){}

	virtual void foo()const = 0;
};

template <class T> class CTest
{
private:
	BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT((boost::is_base_of<CBase,T>::value_type));
public:
	CTest(){}

	void what()const
	{
	}
};

class CDerived : public CBase
{
	CTest<CDerived> m_a;

public:
	CDerived(){}

	virtual void foo()const{m_a.what();}
};

int main(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	CDerived d;
	d.foo();
	return 0;
}

I am using the BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT to make sure the template parameter of the
CTest class is inherited from some specific class (in particular CBase in this
example). But this code is not compiled. I am using Visual C++ 7 compiler. What
is my error?
