IRC logs seems to indicate that it was on Solaris with SunStudio, but I cannot get a proper build of bcp at all currently on any of my (x86/sparc) 5.9/5.10 compilers, where copy_file.o fails to build due to an ICE and a constant expression error in regex. I might have used some version other than the 1.44.0, 1.46.1 and current trunk, as none of those compile bcp at all.
Reproduced on Linux with Sun Studio 12.1. Unfortunately there are Boost.Filesystem failures as well as an internal compiler error: sun.compile.c++ /home/john/bin/boost/bin.v2/tools/bcp/sun-12.1/release/link-static/stdlib-sun-stlport/copy_path.o
Assertion: unexpected or unrecognized operator in err_operator (../lnk/tempactual.cc, line 384) while processing /home/john/SunStudio/sunstudio12.1/prod/include/CC/stlport4/stl/_string_io.c at line 0.
Anyway, the repro I achieved back then succeeded with a full tree but failed with a bcp'd tree, for some reason.
Can you tell me which files were missing (or at least what the errors were)? Using a gcc built bcp to copy boost/bimap.hpp I see the same Sun Studio error with both Trunk and the bcp'ed copy: "../trunk/boost/multi_index/indexed_by.hpp", line 56: Error: Type name expected instead of "BOOST_PP_ENUM_1". "../trunk/boost/multi_index/indexed_by.hpp", line 58: Error: Expected "class" or "typename" before "BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_INDEXED_BY_TEMPLATE_PARM" . "../trunk/boost/multi_index/indexed_by.hpp", line 58: Error: Type name expected instead of "T". 3 Error(s) detected. John.
