Unable to build a project using boost coroutine using gcc 4.4.7

[Michael Tomer <Jester3141@…>]

I am unable to build a simple project using boost coroutine on machines using gcc 4.4.7 (centos6.4, redhat 6.0, 6.1, etc). The same project builds fine using machines running gcc 4.8.3 (fedora 19, centos 7.0).

Since the Boost 1.55 version history does list gcc 4.4.7 as a tested compiler, this likely means a regression.

The simple test file consists of the following main.cpp file:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/utility/enable_if.hpp>
#include <boost/type_traits/is_convertible.hpp>
#include <boost/coroutine/coroutine.hpp>
#include <boost/function.hpp>
#include <boost/bind.hpp>

using namespace std;



typedef boost::coroutines::coroutine<int()> routine_t;

// The implementation routine of the coroutine.
 void xrange_impl(routine_t::caller_type& yield, int limit)
 {
   for(int i = 0; i < limit; i++) {
       yield(i); // return results back to the caller
   }
 }



int main()
{
    routine_t foo(boost::bind(xrange_impl, _1, 10000));

    return 0;
};

The compile errors that I am getting are:

sorry, is too old gcc-4.4 and boost.coroutine did never compile with this version
