The following program:

#include <boost/mpl/list.hpp> #include <boost/test/test_tools.hpp>

fails to compile with borland compilers with the messages:

c:\BoostMainCVS\libs\serialization\test\test_zmisc.cpp: Error E2479 C:\BoostMainCVS\boost/next_prior.hpp 30: Cannot have both a template class and function named 'next'

Old BCB bug, e.g. (http://tinyurl.com/5ltk9)

It won't be fixed, ever.

One ugly way is to use macro:

#include <boost/mpl/list.hpp> #define next xyz #include <boost/test/test_tools.hpp> #undef next

other is to separate code into two TUs.

I don't think this will work for me as it shows up due to file header inclusion about 7 levels deep. Note that this is a new phenomenon that I believed was introduced with the latest MPL update. I realize that's it's a lot, but would it possible for the authors of the two libraries to agree that the name be changed in one of them just so I that us users don't have to resort to a hack such as the above?
