Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #3584: Boost.Python fails to build using gcc 4.4 on linux (-std=c++0x)

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:05:57 GMT

I don't know whats wrong with the error reporting, but the compiler error posted above looks like a conflict between std::make_tuple and boost::python::make_tuple when building in c++0x mode.

Explicitly calling python::make_tuple allows the lib to build for me on Mingw 4.4.0.

There are also failures in 3 of the pickle tests because some calls to make_tuple are trying to call std::make_tuple. (e.g. http://tinyurl.com/ycm2y3r).

Explicitly calling boost::python::make_tuple seems to avoid the problem on Mingw 4.4.0.

Thanks for the ticket!

I've verified on recent 64 bit linux and fixed these on my branch:

http://gitorious.org/~straszheim/boost/straszheim/commit/ebb91573be359ec0a4dcff1a8a417c3de0c0c5e8

Currently asking Ralf if we want to try to squeeze these in to the 1.41.0 release, they look plenty safe to me. Unfortunately I don't have any wisdom on the various boost.build and/or test reporting issues, you may want to file a bug with them.

Resolved on the trunk with svn rev. 57641.

Intel C++ 10.1 and 11.1 don't need the patches, therefore I'm guessing it is a gcc 4.4 name lookup bug.

I'll wait for a test cycle before merging into the release.

Merged into the release branch with svn rev. 57837.

Sorry it was too late for the 1.41.0 release. I didn't want to push it for this change.
