boost::variant Binary visitation

[morten]

When i compile this code in VC71 or VC80 i get the following errors:
The code is copy/paste from the boost.org tutorial. Please help!

error C2039: 'begin' : is not a member of 'boost::variant<T0_,T1>'

begin and end are not members of boost::variant. Thats what the compiler
says. In std::equal you want to compare seq1 and seq2 instead of v1 and v2.

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
boost::variant< int, std::string v1( "hello" );

boost::variant< double, std::string v2( "hello" );
assert( boost::apply_visitor(are_strict_equals(), v1, v2) );

boost::variant< int, const char * v3( "hello" );
assert( !boost::apply_visitor(are_strict_equals(), v1, v3) );

typedef boost::variant<double, std::stringmy_variant;

std::vector< my_variant seq1;
seq1.push_back("pi is close to ");
seq1.push_back(3.14);

std::list< my_variant seq2;
seq2.push_back("pi is close to ");
seq2.push_back(3.14);

are_strict_equals visitor;
assert( std::equal(v1.begin(), v1.end(), v2.begin(),
boost::apply_visitor( visitor ) ) );

return 0;
}

Looks like the boost.org tutorial is broken :-)
