Re: [Boost-users] [ptr_container] ptr_map and MinGW: "a declaration of assert must be available", even with cassert included

Hello,

I'm using boost::ptr_map successfully on Linux, compiling with gcc 4.3.2. However, now i tried the same code on Windows XP, using MinGW with gcc 3.4.5 i get the following error: "error: there are no arguments to 'assert' that depend on a template parameter, so a declaration of 'assert' must be available".

I had exactly the same error on Linux, there i put a #include <cassert> before the #include to boost::ptr_map and everything worked. But on windows, i tried #include <cassert> and #include , also a #include <cassert> #ifndef assert #define assert assert #endif in case something was messing with the name. I tried version 1.39 and 1.37 on windows and the result is the same.

I also carefully inspected the headers i also include, suspecting some might #define an include-guard that confuses with assert.

No luck yet and I'm out of ideas now.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Hm. I have no idea, actually. I tried to grep for assert in the source without any luck :-( Are the ptr container headers the only headers that you include? -Thorsten
