The conversions from simple mpl sequences like ::boost::mpl::vector< node_a, node_b, node_c > to fusion sequences work fine. But I got compile-time errors when I was trying to convert a after-processed mpl sequence from a complex mpl sequence (like nested mpl vectors) to a fusion sequence (through result_of::as_set or as_vector).

The print out of "restored_set_type" is:

struct node_c
struct node_b
struct node_a

, but it seems to lose some type information, which makes it different from a simple mpl sequence ::boost::mpl::vector< node_c, node_b, node_a > .

Did I miss anything to specify, like tag, size, or? Thanks!

the solution is a lot simpler than it first appears! :)

You've missed out something critical:

typedef ::boost::fusion::result_of::as_set<restored_set_type> restored_fusion_set;

Is incorrect, what you need is:

typedef ::boost::fusion::result_of::as_set<restored_set_type>::type restored_fusion_set;

You simply missed ::type hence the type of restored_fusion_set is actually as_set<restored_set_type> - which is not what is required.
