Hi,
sorry if this is a stupid question but I haven't found an answer in
the mail archive. I can hardly believe that it hasn't been asked before.
Everywhere in the boost libs I see code like
namespace boost {
// Just a simple "envelope" for non-type template parameters. Useful
// to work around some MSVC deficiencies.
template <typename T, T n>
struct non_type { };
}
The problem is the "typename T" part. MSVC 6 does not compile this,
it wants "class T". How do I get around this MSVC deficiency (I have
SP 5 installed, at least my admin says so)? Isn't there something like
BOOST_TEMPLPAR_TYPENAME_KEYWORD that is defined to be equal to class
for MSVC <= 6 (and maybe others) an equal to typename for able
compilers?
Cheers,
Christoph
