Re: [Boost-users] uint_t<bits>::value where bits is a template parameter fails to compile

typedef typename boost::uint_t<bits>::least t; Will work. Kobi. On 7/7/06, Phil Endecott wrote:

Dear All,

I am having trouble using the integer library. The following fails to compile:

#include

template <int bits> void fn(void) { //typedef boost::uint_t<8>::least t; typedef boost::uint_t<bits>::least t; t var; }

int main(int argc, char* argv) { fn<8>(); }

With g++ 4.0.0 on Linux and Boost 1.32, I get:

boost_int_test.cc: In function ‘void fn()’: boost_int_test.cc:7: error: expected initializer before ‘t’ boost_int_test.cc:8: error: ‘t’ was not declared in this scope boost_int_test.cc:8: error: expected `;' before ‘var’

The problem seems to occur when I use a template parameter - "bits" in this case - as the template parameter to uint_t. If I use a constant (as in the commented-out line) it works.

Is this a C++ feature, or a bug somewhere? Can anyone suggest a workaround?

Thanks,

Phil.
