[boost] [assign] MinGW list_of() set<string> problem

30 Mar 2005

      The following used to compile:

std::set<std::string> const virtual_control::s_unbindables_permanent
    = boost::assign::list_of("Escape")("PrintScreen");

I'm not sure why, as Boost.Assign's docs seem to say I should have had to
use the to_adapter function. Anyway, I recently started getting the
following error:

E:/libs/boost/boost/assign/list_of.hpp: In member function
   `boost::assign_detail::generic_list<char[7]>::operator set<string>() const'
    :
E:\code\cpp\dasc\wc2\lib\alex\src\virtual_control.cpp:413:   instantiated from
    here
E:/libs/boost/boost/assign/list_of.hpp:334: error: call of overloaded
   `set(
        const boost::assign_detail::converter<
            boost::assign_detail::generic_list<const char *>
        > &
    )' is ambiguous

After changing my code to

std::set<std::string> const virtual_control::s_unbindables_permanent
    = boost::assign::list_of("Escape")("PrintScreen").to_adapter();

I now get the different error

E:/libs/boost/boost/assign/list_of.hpp: In member function
   `set<
        string
    > boost::assign_detail::converter<
        boost::assign_detail::generic_list<const char *>
    >::convert_to_adapter(const set<string> *) const':
E:/libs/boost/boost/assign/list_of.hpp:200:   instantiated from
   `boost::assign_detail::converter<
        boost::assign_detail::generic_list<const char *>
    >::adapter_converter::operator set<string>() const'
E:\code\cpp\dasc\wc2\lib\alex\src\virtual_control.cpp:413:   instantiated from
    here
E:/libs/boost/boost/assign/list_of.hpp:179: error: 'class set<string>' has no
    member named 'push'

To me, this looks like an error in Boost.Assign. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
