The proposed workaround corresponds to the existing code.

Could you tell us if the version 1.49 has yet the error?

Still the same problem in 1.50.0. Changing the type trait "typedef std::vector<registered_waiter>::size_type count_type;" to the specific type "typedef std::size_t count_type;" fixed the problem as a quick workaround.

Environment is still the same, stlport 5.1.5 and msvc 8.1.

Could you add the error relative to the fact the stlport 5.1.5 doesn't defines std::vector<T>::size_type?

Are there any compiler flags that can be tested to check for stlport 5.1.5?

s.seifried@… — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 20:07:28 GMT

Just double checked, but stlport 5.1.5 does define size_type, and it is a public typedef to size_t. So this is fine from my point of view.

boost 1.50.0 was compiled without any additional compiler flags. If you want to try it out yourself, just grab a copy from stlport 5.1.5 from sourceforge and add it to the appropriate place in user config jam.

I think I've understood what is happening. I will replace

struct registered_waiter;
typedef std::vector<registered_waiter>::size_type count_type;

struct registered_waiter;
typedef std::vector<int>::size_type count_type;

As the type std::vector<T>::size_type should not depend on T.
