While your looking at CW, might you find the time to look a little bit into the serialization library build problems. The error message is pretty bizarre so I don't think it can be addressed without having CW installed on ones machine.
OK, I'll try... Should I look for anything in specific? Or is it a general health issue?
I'm looking at this and one of the basic problems is that you seem to assume a variety of things are available in the global namespace, specifically size_t and other std types. Those are easy to fix by specifying std::size_t. But I do have some questions...
1. Is using an unqualified size_t your intention? And therefore something else is broken?
Wow - its amazing to me I could have come so far and not know that size_t wasn't a built in type or macro - I think it used to be a macro definition. Anyway, I'll qualify this with std::size_t and check that no other compilers complain. If fact, now I can't understand why no other compiler complained since I never included <cstddef>
2. There is a similar problem with mbstate_t, but in this case you attempt to do something special to handle it (from boost/archive/codecvt_null.hpp):
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, <= 0x564) #ifndef _RWSTD_NO_NAMESPACE using std::codecvt; using std::min; #ifdef _RWSTD_NO_MBSTATE_T using std::mbstate_t; #endif #endif #elif defined(__COMO__) || defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER <= 1300 || defined(__BORLANDC__) typedef ::mbstate_t mbstate_t; #elif defined(BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE) typedef std::mbstate_t mbstate_t; namespace std{ using ::codecvt; } // namespace std #endif
And then you go ahead to use an unqualified mbstate_t. This just doesn't work for CW. And I don't see how this would work for any library runtime that puts mbstate_t only in the std namespace. Could you explain what your intent is for this?
The situation with mbstate_t is problematic. Some compilers define it in the global namespace while others define it in std::mbstate_t. The intent is to permit the code to use mbstate_t without qualification for those compilers that don't define it as std::mbstate_t. This sort of grew one compiler at time without too much thought. The typedef ::mbstate_t mbstate_t makes me wonder what I was thinking. Following the logic here for CW this would add #elif defined(CW) using std::mbstate_t; so that the rest of the code could use unqualified mbstate_t . I'll fix this (and a bunch other stuff) and we'll try again later. Thanks a lot. Robert Ramey
