#include

namespace speedo {

typedef boost::error_info error_info;

class __declspec(dllexport) exception : public boost::exception { };

}

When I try to compile this, I get the following warning:

c:\cygwin\home\andrej\speedo\trunk\util\exception.h(14) : warning C4275: non

Yes okay, but how do you then export these methods from the base class if they appear in an external library (boost::exception in this case), without changing the external library?

'boost::exception' used as base for dll-interface class 'speedo::exception' C:\cygwin\home\Andrej\speedo\trunk\boost/exception/exception.hpp (47) : see declaration of 'boost::exception' c:\cygwin\home\andrej\speedo\trunk\util\exception.h(13) : see declaration of 'speedo::exception'

Is this a problem, and, how do I get rid of this without changing the boost- exception lib itself?

The exported attribute indicates that all functions from the class are exported. The warning is that you can potentially call a non exported function from the base class, e.g.: struct public Base { void Foo1(); //impl. in cpp }; struct __declspec(dllexport) Derived : public Base { void Foo2(); //impl. in cpp }; void Foo() { Derived d; d.Foo1(); //error, but at least a linker error d.Foo2(); } wkr, me _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users __________________________________________________________ Not happy with your email address?.
