Hi folks, I am trying to use eval_pow() and eval_powm() My code is like this and I am using Visual Studio 12: #include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp> ... boost::multiprecision::cpp_int pow("1234567"); boost::multiprecision::cpp_int base(3); boost::multiprecision::cpp_int result = 0; boost::multiprecision::default_ops::eval_pow(result, base, pow); I cannot figure out what's going on wrong when I compile it, the error message is like the following, Can anyone shed some light please?
