Hi everyone
When trying to compile the serialization library for my Montavista embedded computer, I am getting a strange error message concerning boost spirit/core/primitives/numerics.hpp stating that struct result in sign_parser has already been defined before.
Back then, I couldn't deny that fact, as result is already defined in sign_parser's superclass parser, so I renamed the struct in the subclass to tresult and the library compiled fine.
Currently, I am asking myself what influence such a change might have on the running program. I am having unexplainable SIGABRT signals appearing and killing my program, thus I suspect my change was not that mere after all.
Is there a better workaround I could use to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your replies and best regards
I don't quite understand what's happening here. It shouldn't be an error if a base class and a subclass share the same result struct. Try this short example: struct x { struct result { typedef int type; }; }; struct y : x { struct result { typedef double type; }; }; Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
