There is a Filesystem bug report, 5048, that actually affects any library using ...\libs\detail\utf8_codecvt_facet.cpp
The problem is line 255: #elif WCHAR_MAX > 0x10000
On HP-UX, WCHAR_MAX is defined like this:
# if defined(_INCLUDE_STDCSOURCE_199901) # define WCHAR_MAX UINT_MAX /* max value of an unsigned integer */ # define WCHAR_MIN 0 # else # define WCHAR_MAX (wchar_t)UINT_MAX /* max value of an unsigned integer */ # define WCHAR_MIN (wchar_t)0 # endif
An obvious fix is to add #define _INCLUDE_STDCSOURCE_199901 to ...\boost\config\platform\hpux.hpp, and that's been confirmed by the user who originated the bug report.
I'm guessing that this fix doesn't work if the user includes <stdint.h> before <boost/config.hpp>, but can't think of anything better.
Any objections to committing the change to ...\boost\config\platform\hpux.hpp?
No.... but why not just define that symbol at the top of the .cpp file in question (before any #includes) and thereby guarantee to fix the issue?
Good question! I was looking for a more general solution, but you are right that a local fix is more appropriate. --Beman
