It can't tell from your use what type to return/cast the value to so
its failing.
default_value.value<int64_t>();
will try to do it as an int64_t to match the long. Alternatively you
should be able to do
int64_t value = default_value.value();
and it can guess the type there.
I suspect your problem lives in encode_type and what it's doing with
the last parameter.
