I downloaded boost 1.30.0 but am having trouble with the Tuple library with Visial Studio.Net. The following code produces the errors: #include <boost/tuple/tuple.hpp> boost::tuple<int, int> f() { return boost::tuple<int, int>(1, 1); } c:\cpp\boost_1_30_0 \boost\tuple\detail\tuple_basic_no_partial_spec.hpp(411) : error C2039: 'map_tuple_to_cons' : is not a member of 'boost::detail' This code is: class tuple : public detail::map_tuple_to_cons<T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10>::cons1 This appears to be a compiler bug. The code at this line is in the boost::tuples namespace but the compiler seems to be ignoring boost::tuples::detail. I replaced detail with tuples::detail in many places in this code. Next error: c:\cpp\boost_1_30_0 \boost\tuple\detail\tuple_basic_no_partial_spec.hpp(456) : error C2629: unexpected 'boost::tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,T8,T9,T10> (' This code is: template<typename Head, typename Tail> explicit tuple(const cons<Head, Tail>& other) : cons1(other.head, other.tail) { } Visual C++ doesn't seem to understand template constructors. I replaced the template constructor with a copy constructor. VC++ failed to create the default copy constructor :( c:\cpp\boost_1_30_0 \boost\tuple\detail\tuple_basic_no_partial_spec.hpp(470) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ',' before '<' The code is: template<typename Head, typename Tail> self_type& operator=(const cons<Head, Tail>& other) Lookup failed on cons. I added tuples:: prefix. Has anyone else run into these or might I have a configuration problem? Thanks! Todd Fleming
