Can : https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4061
be fixed by merging the attached trivial patch ?
gcc 4.5 borks up on a deep MPL internals that prevent some other component to not compile.
I in a perfect world, the GCC developers would actually test their compiler on Boost before releasing it, and report back to us that we have invalid code, or fix the compiler.
saying `the other ones are responsible' is in no way helpful. this issue has been dealt with on april 1st [1] by the gcc devs, a month before the release of 1.43. however i remember other cases, when tickets with patches were filed against boost, to support new compiler releases, that were not dealt with for quite some time. in a real world, people will have to ship their own patched version of boost in order to support new compilers. tim [1] http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43608 -- tim@klingt.org http://tim.klingt.org After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say "I want to see the manager."
