Hi, Clang has a bug with deleted functions (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7754564/clang-error-message-when-using-c0...). Please, could we comment these two lines until clang fixes the bug //#if !__has_feature(cxx_deleted_functions) # define BOOST_NO_CXX11_DELETED_FUNCTIONS //#endif Thanks, Vicente

This is not a clang bug. It was a bug in boost::shared_ptr, now fixed.

Maybe you are right, but there are other cases when the constructor is deleted, that is when we use explicitly = delete.

Note that libc++ doesn't make use of =delete to implement movable only classes, so the compiler bug is not visible when we push_back a std::thread on a vector of std::threads. clang-3.4xl is the latest from svn. The same behavior for clang-3.1 and 3.2 Best, Vicente

That might be true, but that is not sufficient to conclude that clang doesn't support deleted functions! The stackoverflow question you linked to is years old and Howard's answer is wrong (but Johannes's comments on that answer are correct, and agree with what Peter already said.) The stack trace shows that std::vector is trying to copy the element, not move it. My guess would be that boost::thread's move constructor is not noexcept, so the libc++ std::vector refuses to use a move when inserting, and falls back to a copy instead, which fails. That is the correct, standard behaviour for std::vector. If my guess is correct you should make the move constructor noexcept.

Yep, here's your bug: thread(BOOST_THREAD_RV_REF(thread) x) { thread_info=BOOST_THREAD_RV(x).thread_info; BOOST_THREAD_RV(x).thread_info.reset(); } That is missing a BOOST_NOEXCEPT exception-specification. Why not simply do x.thread_info.swap(thread_info) to avoid ref-count updates in that constructor?

Actually, the correct behaviour would be to fall back to the possibly-throwing move if the type is non-copyable, so maybe there's a problem with the libc++ std::vector, although I'd find that almost as surprising as a bug in clang's deleted function support. The boost::thread move ctor should still be noexcept anyway, and that should solve the problem.

Hopping others have learn something from you insight. Why not simply do x.thread_info.swap(thread_info) to avoid ref-count updates in that constructor? I will change it.

Also, there's a bogus copyright date in boost/thread/detail/thread.hpp:

How is it that when I define the boost::thread constructor private the compiler has no issues? I will check for noexcept. Best, Vicente
