Hi, we have confirmation now from hp, that they could reproduce the problem (pls. see below). We here decided to switch to a newer gcc compiler version. And doing so we will also switch to a newer boost lib version. Actually we already tried the 1.41.0 with the old gcc-3.4.4. But for that there was a not backwards compatible change in boost::spirit impl. and API. So as we don't have time to adapt our application, i guess we need to use the 1.40.0? cheers, Frank ---- reply from hp ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I kindly would like to ask you for confirmation of the problem.

Because i want to exclude that the problem is just due to our system

set-up here.

I would highly appreciate if you could try to re-produce the problem

(see http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42791)

and give us positive or negative confirmation.

I ran the test case from the GCC bug report using GCC 3.4.5 and Boost 1.33.1 and was able to reproduce the problem on my system.

For decision making about new gcc compiler version to use,

i would like to ask you for a proposal - especially related to

performance issues.

Because there are difference gcc version packages available from your

download sites.

Generally, I recommend using the most recent GCC version available.

If you confirm the problem, then it might also be helpful to add the

information to your web-site, porting guidelines, etc.

- for all your customers (they might hit the same problem)

Or ask gnu to fix it.

The FSF is not going to fix anything on the 3.4.* branch, this branch is considered 'dead' and is no longer being maintained.
