Is 1.44 too old to use in VX 2012?

Definitely. 1.44 is 2 years old, even VS 2010 might have some issues.

I know that Microsoft has changed some of the underlying libraries, so do I need 1.51?

I would go straight for 1.52. Beta is out, so you even might get upcoming issues solved for the final.

Thanx for any help!

Hope this help, Yours, Jürgen -- * Dipl.-Math. Jürgen Hunold ! * voice: ++49 4257 300 ! Fährstraße 1 * fax : ++49 4257 300 ! 31609 Balge/Sebbenhausen * jhunold@gmx.eu ! Germany

Hi folks,****

** **

I'm upgrading a old project, first created using Visual Studio 2008, to Visual Studio 2012. This project uses the boost libraries to implement regular expressions, and a few other things.****

** **

When I try to compile, I get somewhere north of 2000 errors, all stemming from iterator_adaptor.hpp. Here's a sample…

Off-hand, I'd guess some namespace isn't being closed within a header included prior to iterator_adaptor.hpp. But really, it's hard to say without having a self-contained example :( ****

Again hard to say, but I would think it'd be worth a try. - Jeff
