Re: [boost] Visual C++ 8.0 Compiler Bug makes namespaces public

14 Apr 2008

      Hi Christopher.

Hi,
we discovered a compiler bug using Visual C++ 8.0 (SP1). This bug makes 
boost namespace items visible in the global namespace and so makes boost 
libraries conflict with other libraries.
This seems to be related to the bug I mentioned in the '[boost.pool] 
Workaround for a msvc 7.1 & 8.0 bug surfaced in the boost 1.35 release' 
from 8.4.2008. That post also includes two minimalistic examples for 
reproducing the bug.

   There I found a way to avoid it using some fully qualified 
identifiers so perhaps something like this can help you.

   Hope this helps.

   Best regards,
