Hi, I am trying to use a boost::unordered_map as a member of my class. The unordered_map is defined as, boost::unordered_map<int, int> a; as a private member in the class. I have included #include "boost/unordered_map.hpp" using namespace boost; This is the compilation error I get, x_objs.cpp c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\detail\buckets.hpp(767) : error C2059: syntax error : '(' c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\detail\buckets.hpp(766) : while compiling class template member function 'void boost::unordered::detail::functions<H,P>::construct(bool,const H &,const P &)' with [ H=boost::hash<int>, P=std::equal_to<int> ] c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\detail\table.hpp(152) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::unordered::detail::functions<H,P>' being compiled with [ H=boost::hash<int>, P=std::equal_to<int> ] c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\detail\unique.hpp(179) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::unordered::detail::table<Types>' being compiled with [ Types=boost::unordered::detail::map<std::allocator<std::pair<const int,int>>,int,int,boost::hash<int>,std::equal_to<int>> ] c:\codeworks\common\lib\boost\boost\unordered\unordered_map.hpp(74) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::unordered::detail::table_impl<Types>' being compiled with [ Types=boost::unordered::detail::map<std::allocator<std::pair<const int,int>>,int,int,boost::hash<int>,std::equal_to<int>> ] c:\codeworks\sample_issue.h(276) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::unordered::unordered_map<K,T>' being compiled with [ K=int, T=int ] li_pip.cpp ld_pip.cpp pip.cpp . . . Can someone please help me? Thanks, Ram
