Build Errors Examples Using LLVM/Clang on Windows

[adam-hartshorne]

The following two bits of code compile ok with MSVC, but using LLVM/Clang produces the following errors.

Using the code in print.cpp

BOOST_HOF_STATIC_FUNCTION(simple_print) = fix(first_of(
    BOOST_HOF_LIFT(print_with_cout),
    BOOST_HOF_LIFT(print_with_range),
    BOOST_HOF_LIFT(print_with_tuple)
));

produces the following error

1>./boost_hof_functions.h(45): error : templates cannot be declared inside of a local class
1>C:\boost_1_68_0\boost/hof/lift.hpp(90):  note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_HOF_LIFT'
1>C:\boost_1_68_0\boost/hof/lift.hpp(105):  note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_HOF_LIFT_CLASS'

And

BOOST_HOF_STATIC_LAMBDA_FUNCTION(print) = boost::hof::proj(simple_print);

produces

>./boost_hof_functions.h(51): error : non-const lvalue reference to type 'reveal_adaptor<...>' cannot bind to a temporary of type 'reveal_adaptor<...>'
1>C:\boost_1_68_0\boost/hof/lambda.hpp(241):  note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_HOF_STATIC_LAMBDA_FUNCTION']

There are nearly identical errors with functions from in.cpp.

So it looks like clang on windows defines _MSC_VER on windows. This should be easy to fix for BOOST_HOF_LIFT.

The other issues I am not sure what the error is. It seems related to #205 as well. Let me look into setting up clang for windows unless you have a dockerfile that sets it up already.

Sorry I don't have a docker file.

It is however extremely straight forward to drop LLVM/Clang into Visual Studio these days.

I dont have access to windows. Although, clang is portable and will run on any platform.

Was a fix ever found for this?
