I have a very simple regex program that will not compile on AIX using IBM's
xlc++ compiler.
Here is the program:
"/usr/local/include/boost/regex/v4/cregex.hpp", line 75.4: 1540-0063 (S)
The text "0x001" is unexpected.
I believe this is a known problem: there is a fix in the works but you may
have to wait a while: the problem occurs if you include the platforms native
before including , I believe in some modes IBM's
compiler includes if you include nearly any platform header. You
could try moving to be the first include, if that doesn't
fix it, it gets harder, because the "correct" fix is a complete
restructuring of the Boost.Regex header structure. I believe that our AIX
regression tests were passing for Boost.Regex so there is a set of compiler
options that will also remove the problem, our regression tests are using
something like:
xlC -c -DNDEBUG -O3 -qstrict -qinline -qnotempinc -qfuncsect -qeh -qrtti
source-file.cpp
but I don't know which of those is important,
Regards,
John.
