Borland compiler error with Pool, boost::pool_allocator

[davidwt]

This Borland compiler error occurs with boost release 
versions 1.30.2 and 1.31.0.  It also occurs with the 
latest CVS checkout as of July 9, 2004.  I've tried this 
on two Win2000 computers with totally different 
hardware (Intel, AMD).

Borland compilers from Borland Builder5 and from 
Borland BuilderX both generate an internal compiler 
error with a typedef of pool_allocator<int>.

The source code file t.cpp contains:

#include <boost/pool/pool.hpp>
typedef boost::pool_allocator<int> node_alloc;

Here is a copy of the DOS window for the two compiles:

This problem is caused by a CodeGear (formerly Borland) compiler bug which was fixed in the 5.9.0 version, which corresponds to C++ Builder 2007.

"bug which was fixed in the 5.9.0 version, which corresponds to C++ Builder 2007. " so how come using C++Builder2007 I get

[BCC32 Error] CPhaseEnvelopeSet.cpp(87): F1004 Internal compiler error at 0x54efc3f with base 0x54a0000

?

The example posted in the original report compiles without problems with bcc32 5.9.1, i.e. C++ Builder 2007 with Update 2 installed, Boost 1.34.1 and the bcbboost patches, available at ​http://bcbboost.sf.net
