[sigc] Bug in MSVC prevents compilation of type_traits.h

["Simpson, John" <John Simpson mbda co uk>]

I'm hoping to use MSVC (7.0.9466) to port some Linux apps to Windows. They use Gtk and sigc++.

 

libsigc++ has successfully compiled but I'm having some problems using the includes with the app. I'm trying to port.

 

There's a bug in VC++ (Q241949) which seems to be indirectly or directly responsible for the following:

type_traits.h(37) : error C2065: 'T_type' : undeclared identifier
type_traits.h(37) : error C2065: 'N' : undeclared identifier
type_traits.h(37) : error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer type
type_traits.h(37) : error C2687: cannot define a nested UDT of a template class out of line
type_traits.h(37) : fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation

 

As the compiler has given up at this point and there's no apparent mention of the fault in the libsigc++
mailing list I'm worried that I'll fix this problem, then find another etc

 

Does anyone know about this?

 

Thanks

 

John
