I'm looking at this and one of the basic problems is that you seem to assume a variety of things are available in the global namespace, specifically size_t and other std types. Those are easy to fix by specifying std::size_t. But I do have some questions...
1. Is using an unqualified size_t your intention? And therefore something else is broken?
Wow - its amazing to me I could have come so far and not know that size_t wasn't a built in type or macro - I think it used to be a macro definition. Anyway, I'll qualify this with std::size_t and check that no other compilers complain. If fact, now I can't understand why no other compiler complained since I never included <cstddef>
<Butting in...> If you include <boost/config.hpp> before <cstddef> then size_t and ptrdiff_t get put in namespace std for standard libraries which only define them in the global namespace. Jonathan
