Boost Function problem in Studio 12.2

Question

Hi,
I'm having a problem compiling a simple boost::function declaration which worked fine with 12.1 (and gcc). Here's the test code:
#include <boost/function.hpp>
#include <string>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
boost::function<void(std::string)> foo;
Which produces the error:
"boostfn.cc", line 7: Error: In this declaration "foo" is of an incomplete type "boost::function<void>".
1 Error(s) detected.
Compiler version:
CC: Sun C++ 5.11 SunOS_i386 2010/08/13
Boost version: 1.38.0.
Command line:
CC -g0 -DSOLARIS -features=tmplife -features=tmplrefstatic -erroff=wbadinitl,wbadasgl -library=stlport4 -I<path to boost> boostfn.cc
Any ideas why this doesn't work?
Thanks,
Graham

Thanks Steve, I see. So is there a list of such known issues? I didn't notice anything related to it in the Known Problems section of the docs (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-2414/gkezt?a=view). It's a shame, because this put us in a position where we need to upgrade to 12.2 due to a bug in 12.1, but this regression means we can't use 12.2.
Cheers,
Graham
