[C++-sig] Question regarding objects of enums

[gideon may]

Hi Dave,

I tried to compile my library with the current cvs version and
stumbled on a problem with enums. The following worked with
boost 1.30.0 but fails with the cvs version (using MSVC 7):

class MyClass {
  public:
    enum Direction {
        UP, DOWN
    };
};

enum  Color {
    RED, GREEN, BLUE
};


void make_object()
{
    object o1 = object(RED);         // Works
    object o2 = object(MyClass::UP); // Fails
}

TIA,

Gideon
