Hi,
I have sent a problem report on the list, recently, regarding mpl::find_if algorithm on
vc7 platform. I'm using 1.29 release not current cvs snapshot.
I assume, that description was not good enough so I haven't got any response.
Problem:
mpl::find_if algorithm does not compile with vc7. Simple inclusion of the
boost/mpl/find_if.hpp
header generates a compiler error. Error occurs also on libs/mpl/test/find_if.cpp
Error message is following:
find_if.cpp

I have found a simple fix for a problem. In file boost/mpl/find_if.hpp, the order of
inclusions have to be changed.
Original:
--------------------------------------------------
#ifndef BOOST_MPL_FIND_IF_HPP_INCLUDED
#define BOOST_MPL_FIND_IF_HPP_INCLUDED
#include "boost/mpl/aux_/iter_fold_if_impl.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/aux_/iter_apply.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/logical/or.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/logical/not.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/begin_end.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/always.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/lambda.hpp"
--------------------------------------------------
Patched:
--------------------------------------------------
#ifndef BOOST_MPL_FIND_IF_HPP_INCLUDED
#define BOOST_MPL_FIND_IF_HPP_INCLUDED
#include "boost/mpl/aux_/iter_apply.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/aux_/iter_fold_if_impl.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/logical/or.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/logical/not.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/begin_end.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/always.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/lambda.hpp"
#include "boost/mpl/bind.hpp"
-------------------------------------------------
If the order of first two includes is reversed, the error is resolved.
I don't have a deep understandness of mpl implementation so it is possible that this
patch breaks something else.
It is also possible, that the problem is already fixed in cvs.
Please, let me know what is the status of this.
Thanks,
Pavol
