It turns out that BOOST_TYPEOF_NESTED_TYPEDEF has a problem when used inside
functions on VC8.0 (possibly other compilers as well)
This is because BOOST_TYPEOF_NESTED_TYPEDEF internally defines a member
template:
struct a {
template<typename T>
struct b{
};
};
VC8.0 doesn't handle this (error C2892: local class shall not have member
templates)
It is possible to avoid this problem, but this would cripple
BOOST_TYPEOF_NESTED_TYPEDEF because it would reintroduce the
BOOST_TYPEOF_LIMIT_SIZE limitation on the expression complexity.
The alternative is to disallow NESTED_TYPEDEF inside functions, and write a
note on this in the docs. Is this acceptable?
