[Boost-users] How to use mpl::for_each with mpl::map

23 Apr 2009

      Hi,

I'm trying to use the runtime mpl::for_each algorithm on an mpl::map
that I have which associates enumerated values to various types.

I want to be able to call a functor for each of the enumerated key
values in the mpl::map but can't get the syntax right, I get the
following compiler error with MSVC 9.0
c:\source\vendor\boost\1_38_0\boost\mpl\pair.hpp(43) : error C2039:
'first' : is not a member of 'boost::mpl::arg<1>'

Any help appreciated.

Mark.

enum FieldId
{
       Monday,
       Tuesday,
       Wednesday,

       Friday,
       Saturday,
       Sunday,
       _DaysInWeek
};
