I have recently upgraded to Boost 1.38 from Boost 1.35 and suddenly I get the following warnings from GCC 4.3.2:
../boost_1_38_0/boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp:224: error: 'boost::test_tools::<unnamed>::check_is_close' defined but not used ../boost_1_38_0/boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp:246: error: 'boost::test_tools::<unnamed>::check_is_small' defined but not used
Sigh, yes those were introduced in 1.37 (maybe 1.36). A search in the Trac reveals that this is #2390 https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2390
I have warnings treated as errors in my build and I haven't encountered this issue before.
Can this be considered a regression and if yes what can I do to work around it?
Well, those issues are fixed in trunk, but were not merged to release in time. I hope Gennadyi will merge them for 1.39.
I ran into this same problem with the upgrade. For the moment my solution is to comment out the offending definitions for check_is_close and check_is_small, and change test_tools.hpp:
- replace all (8) occurrences of check_is_close with check_is_close_t() - replace all (4) occurrences of check_is_small with check_is_small_t()
This is definitely ugly ;-)) The real patch is avaiable at http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/49865 And you might want to apply the second part which is https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/50388 This fixes all warnings for me.
