Hi. I just upgraded my Boost from 1.55 to 1.58. My project doesn't build anymore, it fails on the following pattern, which used to work with 1.55: ---<snip>--- #include <algorithm> #include <boost/variant.hpp> #include <string> #include <iostream> #include <vector> struct visitor : boost::static_visitor<std::ostream &> { result_type operator() (int) { return std::cout; } result_type operator() (std::string) const { return std::cout; } }; int main() { std::vector< boost::variant<int, std::string> > v; visitor vis; foreach(v.begin(), v.end(), boost::apply_visitor(vis)); return 0; } ---<snip>--- The example is a bit silly, since foreach discards the return value of apply_visitor anyway. So my solution was to change the visitor to define result_type as void. This works. However, I am wondering why delayed_visitor does no longer work in this situation? Is it because I am trying to return a reference? -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕
