HI
i have a file named SharedCount.hxx.
i this file i have a class that ovveride operator new.

problem with this is when i want to use this class compiler generate this error

error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'

and error line point to operator new overloading.

exactly this file is modified version of boost shared_ptr.i use these file in another projects without any problem(vs c++ 2010).

please help me to solve this error.
unfortunately original code is very very long to be posted here but if it is required i will post it compeletly

   }

   virtual void * get_deleter(std::type_info const & ti)
   {
      return ti == typeid(D)? &del: 0;
   }

   void * operator new(size_t)
   {
      return std::allocator<this_type>().allocate(1, static_cast<this_type *>(0));
   }

   void operator delete(void * p)
   {
      std::allocator<this_type>().deallocate(static_cast<this_type *>(p), 1);
   }

};

Have you tried implementing the new/delete functions out-of-line (not in the header file, but in the .cc/.cpp file? This may be an issue with some compilers.

could you please explain more?
