Re: [Boost-users] (GCC) 4.6.3 and boost_1_47_0 lockfree issue

I think boost needs fix in lockfree / detail / freelist.hpp to compile with GCC 4.6.3 as the GCC is stricter in namespace now. I see the change where "lockfree: add new wrapper to dispatch between boost::atomic and std::atomic", the team has made classification between the previous GCC (< 4.6 version) and use std::stomic for GCC (

4.6 ). Similar fix is needed when we instantiate an atomic pointer. Precede the instantiation of atomic in "lockfree" source files with "std::" .

Please let me know if the change exists already. On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 2:39 PM, Shailja Kumari wrote:

Hi All,

I am using boost_1_47_0 and (GCC) 4.6.3. The C++ application on linux complains on the following in linking.

I looked into http://tim.klingt.org/code/projects/boost-lockfree/repository/revisions/423b...

and dowloaded lockfree changed files. But the issue still exists.

Any idea on this ?
