The suggested workaround (maybe that's the wrong term, if it's not a bug) is:

template<class T> struct always_false { enum { value = 0 }; };

template <typename T> struct foo { void bar(void) { BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(always_false<T>::value); } };

Ok, thanks. Should the always_false<> template get added somewhere permanent, or should we have a special case like BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_FALSE? Dave
