Hi folks,****

I'm upgrading a old project, first created using Visual Studio 2008, to Visual Studio 2012. This project uses the boost libraries to implement regular expressions, and a few other things.****

When I try to compile, I get somewhere north of 2000 errors, all stemming from iterator_adaptor.hpp. Here's a sample…

Off-hand, I'd guess some namespace isn't being closed within a header included prior to iterator_adaptor.hpp. But really, it's hard to say without having a self-contained example :( ****

Is 1.44 too old to use in VX 2012? I know that Microsoft has changed some of the underlying libraries, so do I need 1.51?

Again hard to say, but I would think it'd be worth a try. - Jeff
