Hi,
I'm trying to compile my project in MS Visual Studio 2008 with UNICODE and _UNICODE symbols defined. This automatically makes std::string resolve to std::wstring. I'm having a problem compiling exception/get_error_info.hpp because of the following code
struct
strwrap
{
std::string str;
char const * ptr;
explicit
strwrap( char const * s ):
str(s),
ptr(&str[0])
{
}
Error messages quite predictably say about type inconsistency, there's a copy of them below my signature.
Is there a known way to tweak boost to build seamlessly with Visual Studio Unicode projects?
