Boost fusion/mpl issues after upgrade to a newer version - c++

Question

This is a simplified version of some code I wrote:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/mpl/vector.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/contains.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/placeholders.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/filter_if.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/for_each.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/map.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/pair.hpp>
#include <boost/fusion/include/io.hpp>
namespace ids{
struct a0{};
struct a1{};
struct a2{};
struct a3{};
};
typedef boost::fusion::map< boost::fusion::pair<ids::a0,int>
, boost::fusion::pair<ids::a1,double>
, boost::fusion::pair<ids::a2,char>
, boost::fusion::pair<ids::a3,long> > map_type;
typedef boost::mpl::vector<ids::a0,ids::a3> vec_ids_type;
template <typename T>
struct get_first
{
typedef typename T::first_type type;
};
typedef boost::fusion::result_of::filter_if<
map_type
, boost::mpl::contains<
vec_ids_type
, get_first<
boost::mpl::placeholders::_1
>
>
>::type view_type;
struct SetToZero
{
template <typename Field>
void operator()(Field & field) const
{
field.second = 0;
}
};
int main() {
map_type m( boost::fusion::make_pair<ids::a0>(1)
, boost::fusion::make_pair<ids::a1>(2.0)
, boost::fusion::make_pair<ids::a2>('a')
, boost::fusion::make_pair<ids::a3>(4)
);
std::cout << m << std::endl;
view_type v(m);
std::cout << v << std::endl;
boost::fusion::for_each(v,SetToZero());
std::cout << m << std::endl;
}
I want to use view_type to set to zero some elements in an instance of map_type. If the key of one element in map_type is in vec_ids_type, then the data corresponding to that element has to be set to zero, which is done by calling the functor SetToZero. For all this to work, T is meant to be a fusion::pair when get_first<T> is instantiated.
This code compiles and runs perfectly using boost 1.40 and g++ 4.4.3. However I tried to recompile my code using newer versions of boost and g++ and I get compilation errors. Although I think it has to do with boost and not with the compiler, I'll also mention the g++ version. First I tried using boost 1.48.0.2 and g++ 4.6.3, then I tried using boost 1.49.0.1 and g++ 4.7.2. Both attempts failed, giving very similar (if not the same) compilation errors. The error messages are:

From the very first line of the error messages there is something completely unexpected for me tests.cpp: In instantiation of ‘struct get_first<ids::a0>’. This should not happen because get_first should only be instantiated using elements of map_type, i.e. fusion::pair. I really don't understand why this is happening.
As I said, it works perfectly with boost 1.40, and it makes a lot of sense for me as it is written now, so I really don't see where the error is. My only guess is that something might have changed in the newer versions of fusion or mpl that is causing this. Actually I checked the change logs of Boost.Fusion and Boost and something related to fusion views have been modified/added. Maybe a bug? or, Am I missing something? why it does not work with the newer versions of boost that I tried?
thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Using:
typedef boost::fusion::result_of::filter_if<
map_type
,
boost::mpl::lambda<
boost::mpl::contains<
vec_ids_type
,
get_first<
boost::mpl::_1
>
>
>::type
>::type view_type;
Seems to make it work as you can see here. Currently LiveWorkspace uses boost 1.53.0.
