[Boost-users] [Preprocessor] Compile error after change from Boost 1.55 to 1.57

27 Feb 2015

      Hi,

I've written some preprocessor directives to generate functions for a
class. With Boost 1.55 everything works fine with gcc and clang. When I try
to change to Boost 1.57 I've got some strange compile errors.

I'm happy if someone could help.

Thanks

Franz
