Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #2792: HP aCC rejects string_parse_tree <> in string_parse_tree.hpp

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:51:20 GMT

I believe I am seeing the same problem with Boost 1.49 under the Xcode 4.4 developer preview 3 using the Apple LLVM compiler 4.0 and libc++ (LLVM C++ standard library with C++11 support. The string_parse_tree class is relying on undefined behavior when it attempts to use itself in the definition of ptree_coll.

I had a similar problem in my own code when I switched to this compiler/library combination, and solved it by using boost::shared_ptr to store a pointer to the sub-object rather than storing the complete object.

Use shared_ptr to build tree, rather than by size self reference.

I can confirm that this problem exists with Boost 1.50 under XCode 4.5 Developer Preview 2 when building boost with clang++. I've attached a very minimally tested patch against SVN 79489 that implements the shared_ptr fix mentioned by samalome above.

Re-uploading, something seems wrong with the previous upload

Ping? I'd really like to see this fixed for boost 1.51, but my updates in this ticket seem to have not generated much attention. This is a long standing problem in boost date_time and it breaks boost with recent versions of clang. I'm willing to help out with getting it fixed for the upcoming release. What can I do to help?

I'm also seeing this problem in clang 4.1, Boost 1.52. Patch appears to work.
