This issue last came up for me about a year ago in 1_35_0 with filesystem.hpp: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/38297/match=shadow+variables+cause The included headers this time are: boost/accumulators/accumulators.hpp boost/accumulators/statistics/stats.hpp boost/accumulators/statistics/rolling_mean.hpp To test and fix, I isolated with: printf ""#include <${BoostHeader}>\nint main(void) { return 0; }"" | /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -x c++ -Wall -Wshadow -Werror -o test -I${BoostRoot}/boost/include - The patch to address this is as follows and impacts the headers below: boost/accumulators/framework/accumulator_set.hpp boost/accumulators/framework/accumulators/droppable_accumulator.hpp boost/accumulators/statistics/rolling_mean.hpp boost/accumulators/statistics/rolling_window.hpp boost/accumulators/statistics_fwd.hpp Patches for other headers to be filed separately. Because this problem seems to come up frequently, perhaps there is a way -Wshadow and -Wall can be forced for all unit tests?" Bugs closed To Be Determined accumulator Boost 1.39.0 Problem fixed
