Almost every useful Proto program has workarounds for an MSVC bug that causes syntax errors on valid nested function types. Eric Niebler filed a bug report with Microsoft on 6/14/2007 and they closed it on 6/19/2007 with status "Closed(Won't Fix)". This is back in the days of Visual Studio 2005. I'd like to encourage Microsoft to reopen this bug report and fix it. Could any of you with logins to Microsoft Connect go here https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?Feedba... and answer their 3 question survey expressing your dissatisfaction and encourage them to fix this. Thanks, Dave Jenkins

Hear, hear! I'm also trying some back-channels to get this bug fixed. I used to work in the msvc group, and I have promised to buy beer for the compiler dev who fixes the problem. :-) -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Oh, and this bug seems to be related: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?Feedba... If you want Proto to work well on MSVC, vote these bugs up by giving them a high rating! -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
