boost 1.56 and gcc.4.9.1 invalid use of incomplete type 'struct boost::detail::shared_state_base'

[Richard PALO <richard@…>]

Trying a build with gcc4.9.1 in pkgsrc and am encountering the following:

gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-4.9.1/release/threading-multi/pthread/thread.o libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp: In destructor 'virtual boost::detail::thread_data_base::~thread_data_base()': libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp:56:21: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'struct boost::detail::shared_state_base'

(*i)->make_ready();

In file included from ./boost/thread/thread_only.hpp:17:0,

from libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp:11:

./boost/thread/pthread/thread_data.hpp:84:16: error: forward declaration of 'struct boost::detail::shared_state_base'

struct shared_state_base;

In file included from ./boost/system/system_error.hpp:14:0,

from ./boost/thread/exceptions.hpp:22, from ./boost/thread/pthread/thread_data.hpp:10, from ./boost/thread/thread_only.hpp:17, from libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp:11:

The file libs/thread/src/pthread/thread.cpp includes already the file <boost/thread/future.hpp> which defines shared_state_base.

I don't see where is the problem.

I try to attach the output of preprocess only with '-E -dD' but even compressed the output is > 365K perhaps that will give some insight. If I can mail it somewhere let me know.

Yes please, sent it to vicente.botet at wanadoo.fr

I'm going to put this to sleep for now, the original report was done in an environment upgraded from gcc 4.7.3 to 4.9.1 where perhaps something went awry during the boost components upgrade. Building in a pristine gcc 4.9.1 environment did not manifest this error.

Please reopen it when you see it again.

I'm also getting the same errors with boost 1.54 and gcc 4.8

I'm also getting the same errors in xcode with boost 1.60 and gcc 4.2.1

We are now in boost-1.66 and are releasing boost-1.66.

Have you this problem in this version?
