Hi, I am starting a new project. I am using boost::timer::cpu_timer from boost/timer/timer.hpp and Boost.Test
When I include boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp in my unit test suite, I get compilation errors where boost::timer is declared as a class where previously it's defined as a namespace:
boost/timer.hpp(45): error C2869: 'boost::timer' : has already been defined to be a namespace
boost/test/impl/framework.ipp(153): error C2882: 'timer' : illegal use of namespace identifier in expression
boost/test/impl/framework.ipp(153): fatal error C1903: unable to recover from previous error(s); stopping compilation
So this is more of a conflict between
#include<boost/timer.hpp> and #include<boost/timer/timer.hpp>
Is this intentional? Who support this header?
This is because Beman updated timer in the 1.48 boost release. There was no mention in the release notes as far as I recall. I have a patch for updating Boost.Test to use the new timers, since the old one is deprecated. I'll create a ticket on trac and attach the patch later today or tomorrow for your perusal.
On a related note, progress.hpp is still includes boost/timer.hpp, so it is not currently (at least as of 1.50) possible to use the new timers and the progress display in the same compilation unit. --Daniel
