Hi folks,
I'm upgrading a old project, first created using Visual Studio 2008, to Visual Studio 2012. This project uses the boost libraries to implement regular expressions, and a few other things.
When I try to compile, I get somewhere north of 2000 errors, all stemming from iterator_adaptor.hpp. Here's a sample...

----------------
The project builds without any errors under VS 2008.
Is 1.44 too old to use in VX 2012? I know that Microsoft has changed some of the underlying libraries, so do I need 1.51?
Thanx for any help!
