Re: [Boost-users] Typedef rejected when disambiguating a call to boost::assign

I am trying to initialise a std::map of std::set using boost::assign, as follows:

typedef std::set< uint32_t > the_set_t; typedef std::map< uint32_t, the_set_t > the_map_t;

the_map_t data = boost::assign::map_list_of< uint32_t, the_set_t > > // bad line ( 1, boost::assign::list_of(10)(20)(30) )

Unfortunately this is rejected by GCC 4.4.6, and results in a large amount of errors, (attached below).

The problem is caused by the use of the typedef the_set_t. If the typedef is replaced with std::set the code compiles and works correctly.

I don't see how a typedef can change the code. Very wierd. Does it happen with other compilers? -Thorsten
