[Adobe-source-devel] ASL won't compile - please help! (non-supported compiler)

[Mike E. <mel...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am very interested in using Adobe's ASL. I am working on a personal
project for stock market graphing, prediction, etc.
ASL suits my needs because I've been using boost for about a year and I'm
also trying to learn more about templates.

I am relatively new to advanced Template development and am having some
difficulty compiling ASL on a non-supported compiler (Codewarrior 9.2 for
Windows, 9.4 patch installed). I only have one problem remaining (most of
the code compilies with a few simple changes) and that is in
image_factory.cpp

I won't go into detail of all the various attempts I've tried over the last
several days to get this code to compile.

I've looked at other classes to see how regular_object/regular_interface
work and I am still struggling (it's a good exercise in learning some of the
new template paradigms) to figure out what's preventing the code from
compiling.

If any of you ASL/STL gurus can help, I'd really appreciate it.

I have no trouble with any other factory classes (checkbox, presets, reveal,
popup) compiling.

The error output I get from the compiler (formatted for easier viewing...)
is:

Error   : illegal implicit conversion from '__T?' to

Thanks in advance! (Yes, I will eventually switch to VC8)
