I’m using the type erasure library but have an issue (which I can workaround) when compiling in Windows 10 using Embarcadero C++ Builder 11.3.

My problem is that C++ Builder brings in the Windows SDK Windows.h include file in every Windows VCL UI project it creates *before* any of my code has compiled and it’s causing conflicts in boost header member11.hpp.

This code is enough to cause the error:

#include <boost/type_erasure/any.hpp>

#include <boost/type_erasure/any_cast.hpp>

#include <boost/type_erasure/builtin.hpp>

#include <boost/type_erasure/operators.hpp>

#include <boost/type_erasure/member.hpp>

#include <boost/type_erasure/free.hpp>

#include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp>

namespace mynamespace {

BOOST_TYPE_ERASURE_MEMBER(ReadStatus)

}

The error is because Windows.h defines ‘interface’ but this code from member11.hpp also uses ‘interface’:

template<class P, template<class ...> class interface, class Sig, class Concept, class Base, class ID>

using choose_member_interface = typename ::boost::mpl::if_c< ::boost::is_reference<P>::value,

    typename ::boost::mpl::if_c< ::boost::type_erasure::detail::is_non_const_ref<P>::value,

        interface<Sig, Concept, Base, const ID>,

        Base

    >::type,

    interface<Sig, Concept, Base, ID>

>::type;

and the compiler complains of conflicts.
