Re: [boost] [uuid] - boost/algorithm/string.hpp - error no matching function for call to 'find(wchar_t [16], wchar_t* const&, wchar_t&)'

uuid is using std::find without qualification and so it conflicts with boost::find declared in the string_algo.

Qualified both find invokations with std:: - now it's working

Looking through the uuid.hpp code, there are lots of 'using namespace' directives. Althoug they are only local, they could cause problems, especialy in the scope of boost.

So they should prefented in general?

There are a few teams at Adobe that have outlawed 'using namespace' (and 'using' in general). There is just too much code - being explicit helps you understand what's really going on. Tony
