Re: [Boost-users] [Boost][Tuples] Compilation error VC7.1 w/ enum in namespace

Hi,

I've just tried to define a boost::tuples::tuple with an enum in a namespace, see code hereafter:

\code

namespace adv { namespace rbt { enum MyType { Type_1, Type_2 } ; } }

boost::tuples::tuple t ;

\endcode

But during the compilation step, I've got an error w/ BOOST 1.33.1 and VC7.1 like that: "error MyType not defined".

Remark: If the enum is not defined in a namespace, there are no compilation errors.

Is there any workaround to deals with this compilation error?

Thanks in advance

1. Move to VC8 :-) Your code compiles fine with VC8 2. Putting 'using adv::rbt::MyType;' immediately before the tuple typedef gets it to compile on VC7.1. I don't know why, though :-( Stuart Dootson
