I just tried to compile the following

msvc 10 complains, 1>c:\boost\trunk\boost\smart_ptr\detail\sp_convertible.hpp(48): error C2660: 'f' : function does not take 1 arguments ... This appears to be because type_info is defined in the global namespace, so ADL for boost::error_info<boost::tag_original_exception_type, const type_info *> picks up the global f. I don't have a fix for this yet.
You mean apart from renaming f to something like _spc_helper_f? :-)
Lookup from within a class scope shouldn't activate ADL when it finds a member, so it seems to me that MSVC 10 is wrong here, but I don't have chapter and verse handy, so who knows.
I think that the compiler is correct to find the global f, but I don't think it should cause the static f to be hidden. 3.4.2 "When an unqualified name is used as the postfix-expression in a function call..." 5.2.2 "There are two kinds of function call: ordinary function call and member function57) (9.3) call." footnote 57 "A static member function (9.4) is an ordinary function." Anyway, the attached patch fixes this problem (and http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4108) and should be harmless for other compilers. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
