The last stable version 1.59.0 has exactly the same code so should share the issue. Code using BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT raises this kind of errors: {{{ In file included from encode/base_n.cc:16: ../../../src/lib/util/encode/binary_from_base32hex.h:46:9: error: unused typedef 'boost_static_assert_typedef_46' [-Werror,-Wunused-local-typedef] BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(0x80 == sizeof(lookup_table)); ^ /usr/local/include/boost/static_assert.hpp:170:16: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT' BOOST_JOIN(boost_static_assert_typedef_, __LINE__) BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_UNUSED_ATTRIBUTE ^ /usr/local/include/boost/config/suffix.hpp:544:28: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_JOIN' #define BOOST_JOIN( X, Y ) BOOST_DO_JOIN( X, Y ) ^ /usr/local/include/boost/config/suffix.hpp:545:31: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_DO_JOIN' #define BOOST_DO_JOIN( X, Y ) BOOST_DO_JOIN2(X,Y) ^ /usr/local/include/boost/config/suffix.hpp:546:32: note: expanded from macro 'BOOST_DO_JOIN2' #define BOOST_DO_JOIN2( X, Y ) X##Y ^ :77:1: note: expanded from here boost_static_assert_typedef_46 ^ }}} Note it is not a new issue, cf #7242. But the fix in static_assert.hpp: {{{ // // If the compiler warns about unused typedefs then enable this: // #if defined(__GNUC__) && ((__GNUC__ > 4) || ((__GNUC__ == 4) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ >= 7))) # define BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_UNUSED_ATTRIBUTE __attribute__((unused)) #else # define BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_UNUSED_ATTRIBUTE #endif }}} requires to handle the new Apple Clang. I tried with success: {{{ #if defined(__GNUC__) && ((__GNUC__ > 4) || ((__GNUC__ == 4) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ >= 7))) || (defined(__apple_build_version__) && (__apple_build_version__ >= 7000000)) }}} I am attaching the diff.",Bugs,closed,To Be Determined,static_assert,Boost 1.58.0,Problem,fixed,,
