Unfortunately that didn't work, I get the new compiler error;

/home/alex/boost/boost_1_71_0/boost/multiprecision/detail/number_base.hpp(216): error: static assertion failed with "is_integral<T>::value || is_enum<T>::value || std::numeric_limits<T>::is_specialized"
BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(is_integral<T>::value || is_enum<T>::value || std::numeric_limits<T>::is_specialized);

Are you able to help?

Many thanks,

Alex

Hi,
I have written a short program utilising boost::float128 together with tux Eigen which successfully compiles and runs using g++, however it fails when I use icc.
The compiler error is

/home/alex/boost/boost_1_71_0/boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp(727): error: no suitable constructor exists to convert from "const _Quad" to "boost::multiprecision::number<boost::multiprecision::backends::float128_backend, boost::multiprecision::et_off>"
     static number_type (min)() BOOST_NOEXCEPT { return BOOST_MP_QUAD_MIN; }
                                                        ^
How can I resolve this?

My example code is;
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <Eigen/Dense>
#include <Eigen/Eigenvalues>
#include <iomanip>
#include <boost/cstdfloat.hpp>
#include <boost/multiprecision/float128.hpp>
#include <boost/math/special_functions.hpp>
#include <boost/math/constants/constants.hpp>
#include <quadmath.h>
#define BOOST_MP_USE_QUAD

using namespace Eigen;
using namespace std;

int main(){
  typedef Matrix<complex<boost::multiprecision::float128>, Dynamic, Dynamic> MatrixXcmp;
  MatrixXcmp C = MatrixXcmp::Random(8,8);
  cout<<setprecision(128)<<C<<endl<<endl;
  ComplexEigenSolver<MatrixXcmp> ces;
  ces.compute(C);
  return 0;
}

It only fails compilation when I put in the line 'ces.compute(C);'.

I compile with
icpc quadtest.cpp -std=c++14 -Qoption,cpp,--extended_float_type -O2 -DMKL_LP64 -lmkl_intel_lp64 -fp-model precise -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lpthread -lm -ldl -lquadmath

Many thanks in advance,

Alex

How can I build pdb files using b2 tool?
If I run b2 -a --with-regex toolset=msvc-14.1 debug-symbols=on
address-model=64 architecture=ia64 variant=debug
it creates the needed lib but no pdb files are created.

Thank you
Eren

Additionally to
debug-symbols=on
add
debug-store=database

You should find PDBs in sub-folder(s) called debug-store-database.

You may find some additional useful info here
https://github.com/boostorg/build/issues/492

Thank you very much Mateusz,
works like a charm.

I fear due to a lack of consistent testing support for the Intel
compiler, we may well have dropped the ball and broken support for
Intel's _Quad type.


The good news is that Intel on Linux does support GCC's __float128 type,
so my suggestion would be to:


* Remove the #define BOOST_MP_USE_QUAD

* Build with -std=gnu++14 rather than -std=c++14

* Remove the -Qoption,cpp,--extended_float_type option.


HTH, John.
