I don't think that's the problem.  Try changing (in make_constructor.hpp):

      enum { arity = mpl::size<Sig>::value - 1 };
      
to:

      enum { arity = mpl::size<Sig>::value };
      
Then add back the "self" keyword and let me know if it works.  If it
all works, please check in your modifications to the test and the
file.

Thanks (sorry)
Dave
