Doug,
I've putting together some test cases for the new macros that function
added to config.hpp: and I'm struggling to understand
BOOST_NO_DEPENDENT_BASE_LOOKUP.
First off, this is defined for Borland compilers, but all the function
tests compile OK with bc 5.51: am I missing something here?
Secondly, you do realise that members of template base classes are not
visible to derived classes anyway - you have to use either:
base_type::member_name
(which breaks VC6), or use:
this->member_name
which seems to work everywhere.
If I've misunderstood the intent of this macro (quite likely!), apologies.
