https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5994 <p> There is bug in VS 2010 (and older versions) which makes EXE projects to build .LIB and .EXP files when using DLL runtime and "new (std::nothrow)" - as in "boost\pool" default_user_allocator_new_delete. </p> <p> The patch below is a workaround for this problem. According to this page: <a class="ext-link" href="http://bit.ly/nCKoel"><span class="icon">​</span>http://bit.ly/nCKoel</a> there are no plans to fix this error on MSVC side. </p> <pre class="wiki"> // -- file: // boost\pool\pool.hpp // -- under // static char * malloc BOOST_PREVENT_MACRO_SUBSTITUTION(const size_type bytes) // -- replace // { return new (std::nothrow) char[bytes]; } // -- with: #if defined(_DLL) &amp;&amp; defined(_MSC_VER) { try { return new char[bytes]; } catch (...) { return NULL; } } #else { return new (std::nothrow) char[bytes]; } #endif </pre> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5994 Trac 1.4.3 Steven Watanabe Sun, 16 Oct 2011 22:59:19 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5994#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5994#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">wontfix</span> </li> </ul> <p> Is there some reason that you can't just ignore the extra files? I object to obfuscating the code like this. </p> Ticket piotr.ns2011@… Mon, 17 Oct 2011 14:50:15 GMT
