mutable ReferenceType m_ref_type is declared in ValueRef::Variable<T> from which ValueRef::Statistic<T> is derived.

Try adding this-> before the instances of m_ref_type that are listed in the errors.

I also got build errors from that, until I changed the 3 offending citations from 'm_ref_type' to

Code: Select all

this->Variable<T>::m_ref_type
this->m_ref_type by itself does not do the job on my machine.

well, I made the change after doing some quick reading on inheritance of protected members as opposed to public members; I can't recall seeing a specific rule that such would be necessary, but it was the impression I got, and it solved the problem.

It's nothing to do with protected vs. public inheritance; it's a somewhat obscure issue with inheritance from a templated base class that the MSVC compiler seems to not handle according to the C++ standard.

Everything I've read says just this->m_ref_type should be sufficient to fix the problem, though, and that the explicit Variable<T> reference in that context could cause some problems in some cases, so could you double-check that?

I was going to post a bug report about this, but as I see, you guys have already sorted that one out. Perfect :D So I can put up the new test builds already (well, for OSX, Geoff has already put up the new test build for Win I noticed), I thought I'd had to postpone that due to this issue...

ya, as soon as I saw your suggestion, I double checked if the plain this->m_ref_type would work, but it got the same error as before popping up in my IDE (saying declaration not found).

Just to be extra thorough, I now tried to go ahead and build it anyway (which had failed with plain m_ref_type), and it did indeed build successfully using just this->m_ref_type (I guess the compiler is smarter than my IDE's semantic analysis plugin)
