Resolved

Language extensions were disabled in the project settings. Re-enabling them allowed successful compilation.

:-) /Za is broken - don't use it! http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/212186/ https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/486253/name-look... And I've just fallen foul of /Za myself - yet again! It seems to me that when creating a new console project using VS2010, Disable /Za is the *default*. so you need to check every time that it isn't enabled. (I'd like confirmation from others that this is really correct - it seems a most undesirable default?) Paul PS (I've patched common.js to change this - perhaps a dangerous move). --- Paul A.
