I'm trying to use boost::tokenizer with the sunpro compiler and encountering an error in the boost interator.

Sunpro compiler: CC: Sun C++ 5.5 Patch 113817-10 2004/10/05 boost 1_32_0

program that demonstrates the error: #include <boost/tokenizer.hpp>

using namespace boost;

int main(int argc, char ** argv) { std::string ret; char_separator<char> sep("\r\n"); tokenizer<char_separator<char> > tok(ret, sep); for(tokenizer<char_separator<char> >::iterator i =tok.begin(); i != tok.end(); ++i) {} }

the output from CC -I$D/src/vendor/incl -o bug bug.C: "/usr/local/dailyLibraryBuild/src/vendor/incl/boost/iterator/iterator_facade.hpp", line 837: Error: Could not find a match for boost::iterator_core_access::equal<boost::iterator_core_access::Facade1, boost::iterator_core_access::Facade2>(const boost::token_iterator<boost::char_separator<char, std::char_traits<char>>, const char*, std::string>, const boost::token_iterator<boost::char_separator<char, std::char_traits<char>>, const char*, std::string>, boost::is_convertible<boost::token_iterator<boost::char_separator<char, std::char_traits<char>>, const char*, std::string>, boost::token_iterator<boost::char_separator<char, std::char_traits<char>>, const char*, std::string>>). 1 Error(s) detected.

I've seen variations on this issue discussed on the boost mailing lists, but I'm not sure I've seen a definitive answer. Does anybody have one?

It's not definitive, but past history strongly suggests a SunPro bug. I'm really surprised it's getting even that far; it was miles from being able to cope with most Boost code not long ago. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
