I have implemented a class ( lets call it LC2DateTime ) that uses boost date time in it's implementation. I also have a small test for this class and it builds nicely and runs properly. However when I include LC2DateTime.h in my larger project I get this odd build error that points me to /usr/include/boost/algorithm/string/detail/finder.hpp as the source of the error.

------------------

/usr/include/boost/algorithm/string/detail/finder.hpp: In member function 'boost::iterator_range<Iterator> boost::algorithm::detail::last_finderF::findit(ForwardIteratorT, ForwardIteratorT, std::forward_iterator_tag) const': /usr/include/boost/algorithm/string/detail/finder.hpp:150: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant /usr/include/boost/algorithm/string/detail/util.hpp: At global scope: /usr/include/boost/algorithm/string/detail/util.hpp:71: error: expected ',' or '...' before numeric constant /usr/include/boost/algorithm/string/detail/util.hpp: In function 'OutputIteratorT boost::algorithm::detail::bounded_copy(InputIteratorT, InputIteratorT)': /usr/include/boost/algorithm/string/detail/util.hpp:76: error: 'DestFirst' was not declared in this scope /usr/include/boost/algorithm/string/detail/util.hpp:77: error: 'DestLast' was not declared in this scope

----------------------

This bug has been bothering me for a while and I actually got my project to build again juggling the placement of of the '#include "LC2DateTime.h" above the other includes in my project. However this problem has reared it's head again and this time no amount of juggling of includes is getting me out of this.

Any thoughts? Is this a problem with the boost libraries or my code?

Sorry for all the blabber. Turns out it was my fault obviously. I had "#define Last 13" in my code. Thread closed. :) On 5/11/06, Leif Gruenwoldt wrote:

Update: I ran my source file that was failing to build through cpp. The variable 'Last' is being replaced with a 13.

Hard to say given the information. Let's start with some basics. What version of Boost? Which platform? What boost headers are you including and in what order?

Opps -- sorry for not reading the whole thread before posting ;-) BTW, this sort of thing is why #define is frowned on for constant values -- but you probably already know that... Jeff
