Looks like VC 8.0 does not handle member *qualified* template friends. The solution I applied is to simply extend the defect macro BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS to VC 8.0 (by using a local version of the macro, namely BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS), until this issue is officially resolved in Boost.Config.

Can we not just resolve this issue "officially" right now by amending config/compiler/visualc.hpp ? What is the value of _MSC_VER with VC 8.0 ? Robert Ramey
