Fixing the problem by defining _INCLUDE_STDCSOURCE_199901 in the jamfile solves the problem for those who use Boost.Build, but doesn't solve it for those who build via some other build system.

The preferred fix would be to add a #define _INCLUDE_STDCSOURCE_199901 somewhere, perhaps <boost/config/platform/hpux.hpp>.

Is that a workable solution? What does _INCLUDE_STDCSOURCE_199901 actually do?

Indeed, changing the jam file isn't the best way.

Answering your questions: a) yes, defining in <boost/config/platform/hpux.hpp> works fine; b) the reason why the definition is required is referred in file wchar.h, as follows:

/* C99 stds require WCHAR_MAX and WCHAR_MIN to be macros which

can be used in #if constructs, hence, can't have casts Retaining the old macros for compatibility

*/

# if defined(_INCLUDE_STDCSOURCE_199901) # define WCHAR_MAX UINT_MAX /* max value of an unsigned integer */ # define WCHAR_MIN 0 # else # define WCHAR_MAX (wchar_t)UINT_MAX /* max value of an unsigned integer */ # define WCHAR_MIN (wchar_t)0 # endif

I'm updating from 1.45 to 1.52 now and I can tell this does not solve the problem. For some reason the define is required before getting to include this header. To compile successfully I had to define _INCLUDE_STDCSOURCE_199901 globally.

I found what the problem is: the define is misspelled. Please fix to: _INCLUDE_STDCSOURCE_199901
