Basically, compilation of any C or C++ code will fail on Solaris if it will satisfy two conditions: </p> <ul><li>The presence of #include &lt;sys/regset.h&gt; system header, direct or indirectly attached through other system headers from /usr/include directory. </li></ul><ul><li>The presence of identifiers which accidentally coincide with X86 register names, like CS, DS, ES, ... </li></ul><p> Here is an example of such 2 lines code: </p> <p> #include &lt;sys/regset.h&gt; </p> <p> template &lt;unsigned D, typename CS&gt; inline void test_segment_all() {}; </p> <p> its compilation will produce error message similar to the one shown above. The failure occurs because that /usr/include/sys/regset.h has the following macros: </p> <p> #define CS 15 </p> <p> #define DS 3 </p> <p> #define ES 2 </p> <p> and when compiler preprocesses this header, after that it automatically replaces user identifiers which accidentally have the same names with those numbers shown above. </p> <p> So, in the original test &lt;sys/regset.h&gt; has been attached indirectly through long chain of system headers defined inside STL library with the usage of -library=stlport4 option, and when finally compiler preprocesses code from the test shown below: </p> <p> template &lt;std::size_t D, typename CS&gt; <em> Line 183 it wrongly replaces CS with '15' assuming that it comes from macro defined inside sys/regset.h </em></p> <ol start="3"><li>Possible Solution. </li></ol><p> To replace CS identifier inside geometry/test/strategies/distance_default_result.cpp with any other similar name, like for example C_S. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11112 Trac 1.4.3 Sergey.Sprogis@… Fri, 13 Mar 2015 02:30:39 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11112#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/11112#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> <li><strong>milestone</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">To Be Determined</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">Boost 1.58.0</span> </li> </ul> Ticket
