I have just been reading n1792 "A modest proposal fixing ADL". In it Herb Sutter states that only two compilers of those tried VC8 and Com4.3.3 do ADL correctly, so maybe this is behind your problems.
It definitely isn't - the case cited is much clearer than the one in the article. Further, ADL *is* working correctly on the same operator and the same types in a different context.
Sorry about that. I've been going round and round trying to find out what I did wrong, but this time it does seem that I am right that the compiler is wrong ... so to speak. If so its very disappointing. I had been looking forward to using VC8
Herb Sutter may or may not know that bug, however, it might not be appropriate for him to publicly highlight bugs of his employer's product.
You wanted to know situations where ADL fails to work with VC8 -- well, here is one. Analyse the code if you have to see it with your own eyes ;-).
I tried out the example. VC8 doesnt seem to like operator + much does it? or - / * for that matter. What should be done about it. Should someone start reporting this to the folks at Microsoft or what? regards Andy Little
