Re: [Boost-users] mixing c++98 with c++11

Gesendet: Freitag, 06. Dezember 2013 um 23:53 Uhr Von: "Chris Stankevitz" An: "boost-users@lists.boost.org" Betreff: [Boost-users] mixing c++98 with c++11

Hello,

Please consider the following:

application A depends on boost compiled libraries application A depends on library B library B depends on boost compiled libraries

Q1: Will I have a problem if: application A is compiled with gcc c++11 library B is compiled with gcc c++98 boost compiled with gcc c++98

Q2: Will I have a problem if: application A is compiled with gcc c++11 library B is compiled with gcc c++11 boost compiled with gcc c++98

My concern is that boost produces different code in its headers based on whether or not the compiler supports c++11.

Thank you,

Hi, not sure if I can help you here. I once had the problem, that *my* library B depended on Boost 1.3x, and well, no way to change that. So, I had to cope with 2 different versions of boost. Still, same compiler and ABI. GCC might is able to let you interface between the ABIs, but maybe you'll need a library C that acts as a proxy to C++98 from '11(14,1y...). To your concerns of boost being different for '98 and everything after: yes. I wouldn't let the versions mix. So you'll need to contain the versions, in this case the lib b to a set of cpp files and private headers, not shared with A. Any other case, you're basicly asking for trouble (but, might still work). kind regards, Jens
