The current Boost CVS does not work for compiling Boost.Python with the EDG front-end versions 238, 245, and 303 (and possibly any other EDG). E.g. using icc 8.1: icc -fPIC -DBOOST_DISABLE_THREADS -DNDEBUG -O2 -DBOOST_PYTHON_MAX_BASES=2 -I/net/legless/scratch1/rwgk/hot/boost -I/usr/local_cci/Python-2.4_ticker/include/python2.4 -c -o boost/libs/python/test/args.os /net/legless/scratch1/rwgk/hot/boost/libs/python/test/args.cpp /net/legless/scratch1/rwgk/hot/boost/boost/python/detail/invoke.hpp(75): error: expression must have (pointer-to-) function type return rc(f( BOOST_PP_ENUM_BINARY_PARAMS_Z(1, N, ac, () BOOST_PP_INTERCEPT) )); ^ detected during: The full error messages are here: http://cci.lbl.gov/~rwgk/tmp/edg238_problem_2005_03_27_1250 http://cci.lbl.gov/~rwgk/tmp/edg245_problem_2005_03_27_1250 http://cci.lbl.gov/~rwgk/tmp/edg303_problem_2005_03_27_1250 I've tracked down the failures to this CVS commit: date: 2005/03/23 11:22:25; author: johnmaddock; Modified function testing to make it configuration-friendly, future changes should require no more than a config macro change. If I check out the CVS HEAD, but run this command % cvs -q update -P -D'2005/03/23 11:00 UTC' U config.hpp U is_convertible.hpp U is_function.hpp U is_member_function_pointer.hpp U type_traits_test.hpp U detail/is_function_ptr_helper.hpp U detail/is_function_ptr_tester.hpp U detail/is_mem_fun_pointer_impl.hpp U detail/is_mem_fun_pointer_tester.hpp in boost/boost/type_traits, compilation succeeds again. The full diffs are here: http://cci.lbl.gov/~rwgk/tmp/edg_problem_2005_03_27_1250_type_traits_diffs I noticed that is_convertible.hpp was modified at a later time (2005/03/24 18:18:36), but this change does not make a difference for the EDG failures.
