Hi! Trying to migrate existing code from boost::xxx to std::tr1::xxx using the boost::tr1 implementation for Visual Studio 2005 SP1 In the presence of some exotic autoconversion utility the the std::tr1::tuple version of my code fails on vc8. The error messages indicate that the conversion operator is not considered by the compiler. Below is code that fails to compile on vc8 if USE_TR1 is defined Do you have an idea how to fix this?
