Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #1542: [test] compiler errors when building with stdcxx library

faridz@… — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:31:28 GMT

Another error encountered on gcc/linux with stdcxx-4.2.0:

../boost/test/impl/debug.ipp:280: error: 'sscanf' is not a member of 'std'

The reason is that <stdio.h> #included, but used std::sscanf() instead of sscanf().

I propose to #include <cstdio> instead of <stdio.h> in unix implementation (line 72). In this case the #include <cstdio> and #include <cstring> lines, which are also present in windows implementation, can be moved to the top of file.

See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/lwg-defects.html#456 for some background on this.

Could someone review Farid's patch and either commit it if it's appropriate or let us know if there's a problem with it? This problem is blocking our progress on building Boost with the Apache C++ Standard Library. Thanks!

The one problem still exist on ICC/Windows, because it uses headers from MSVC, but now <eh.h> #included on MSVC and Metrowerks only.

The proposed patch:

I see that the last problem was fixed in rev.44392, but what would be with including <eh.h> when compiling on MSVC9 (where _MSC_VER == 1500) ?

The problem in boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp is still present on MSVC 9.0 and ICC/Windows with using C-runtime from MSVC 9.0.

See here and here.
