Hi Ian, you wrote:
When i try to compile the code in listing 1 below using MSVC7.1 i get a whole host of errors of the same form as that given in listing 2. I've looked around on google but either i'm not concentrating or this issue hasn't come up yet.
John Maddock reported and explained this problem to me some time ago (thanks!) and I've (hopefully) implemented a *ugly* workaround for it. The problem is due to the questions of DR 135 and its (new ;-) interpretation through MS. The correct solution probably would be to separate class member declarations and definitions, but then the code probably wouldn't work with MSVC 6.0 anymore :-(.
I've also had a quick look in boost/format but would rather not hack around with stuff i don't know. Does anyone know what i need to do to get this working?
You can download one of the newer version from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ublas-dev/files and try to enable // #define BOOST_UBLAS_NO_NESTED_CLASS_RELATION in the MSVC section of ublas' config.hpp. But be aware that you're probably one of the first to give this a try ;-) [snip] Thanks, Joerg
