Hi, As far as I can remember, the problem with ABI compatibility was with boost/asio/detail/atomic_count.hpp. You can force ABI compatibility using BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_STD_ATOMIC definition. I have not detect any other ABI compatibility problem between C++03 and C++11. Best Regards, Slavek 2017-06-26 12:34 GMT+02:00 Jonathan Wakely via Boost-users < boost-users@lists.boost.org>:

They are probably referring to the changes wrt std::string and std::list
Pre-C++11 a lot of standard libraries used copy-on-write strings, which was forbidden in C++11.
std::list now has to have O(1) size, which is another possibly ABI incompatible change.
More details here: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_abi.html
That page explicitly points out that choosing a standard version with -std does not affect the ABI:
"Although the changes were made for C++11 conformance, the choice of ABI to use is independent of the -std option used to compile your code, i.e. for a given GCC build the default value of the _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI macro is the same for all dialects. This ensures that the -std does not change the ABI, so that it is straightforward to link C++03 and C++11 code together."

Hi, mongo-cxx-driver notices this: "Important note about C++11/C++14: The boost libraries do not offer a stable ABI across different versions of the C++ standard. As a result, you must ensure that your application, the C++ driver, and boost are all built with the same language standard. In particular, if you are building the C++ driver with C++11 enabled, you must also build your application with C++11 enabled, and link against a C++11 compiled boost. " [1]
Is it true? What changes with new standard? (or is this only related to ABI change in gcc introduced by c++11?)
I'm interested mainly in libraries: filesystem, chrono, thread, system and regex
Thanks, Marek
