foo01.cpp(11) : error C2355: 'this' : can only be referenced inside non-static member functions
I think this is caused by a compiler bug, which was reported by Eric Niebler, two years ago: Microsoft Visual Studio bug report 331418, "Erroneous error C2355: 'this' : can only be referenced inside non-static member functions", http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/331418/erroneous-... Workaround: Foo::Foo() { Foo & self = *this; BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(sizeof(self.m_value) == 4); } HTH, Niels -- Niels Dekker http://www.xs4all.nl/~nd/dekkerware Scientific programmer at LKEB, Leiden University Medical Center
