Hi Gavin, Just to be clear, is it just "using namespace boost;" I need to worry about, or do I also need to strip out entries like "using namespace boost::filesystem;"? Best wishes.

Make sure you don't have "using namespace boost;" inside any header files (unless within method scope), and if you have it in source files, ensure it only appears after all #includes. (Then also follow this rule for any "using namespace" statements, because they may eventually bite you similarly.) _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
