Does boost::variant support 64bit integers?

Question

I tried to use boost::variant combined with a 64 bit integer. Unfortunately it didn't work. Is there any way to fix this? Or is my boost version just to old? I'm using V1.45.

This declaration works:

std::vector< boost::variant<int, float64_t> > vec2;

This declaration doesn't work:

std::vector< boost::variant<long long int, float64_t> > vec2;

Edit

It's an compiler error:

Edit

The error was in the code not posted. @hvd has found the fault anyway. I must explicitly name the type - but only if it's an int64.

No error:

std::vector <boost::variant <int, float64_t> > vec;
vec.push_back ( 22 );

Compiler error:

std::vector <boost::variant <__int64, float64_t> > vec;
vec.push_back ( 22 );

No error:

std::vector <boost::variant <__int64, float64_t> > vec;
vec.push_back ( (__int64) 22 );

Answer 1

To give a short answer: boost::variant does support 64bit integers.

But if the value assigned to boost::variant is ambiguous this can lead to compiler errors (eg the boost::variant does support float and integers and you try to assign an integer). In this case an explicit typ conversion solves the problem.
