Dear All, I am having trouble using the integer library. The following fails to compile: #include <boost/integer.hpp> template <int bits> void fn(void) { //typedef boost::uint_t<8>::least t; typedef boost::uint_t<bits>::least t; t var; } int main(int argc, char* argv) { fn<8>(); } With g++ 4.0.0 on Linux and Boost 1.32, I get: boost_int_test.cc: In function ‘void fn()’: boost_int_test.cc:7: error: expected initializer before ‘t’ boost_int_test.cc:8: error: ‘t’ was not declared in this scope boost_int_test.cc:8: error: expected `;' before ‘var’ The problem seems to occur when I use a template parameter - "bits" in this case - as the template parameter to uint_t. If I use a constant (as in the commented-out line) it works. Is this a C++ feature, or a bug somewhere? Can anyone suggest a workaround? Thanks, Phil.
