Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #6918: Boost Chrono compilation failure on HP uX due to undefined pthread_getcpuclockid

Fri, 18 May 2012 14:24:41 GMT

I have already tried adding #include <pthread.h> as per ticket #6666

Could you tell me which defines to use to check for HP compiler/pthread library used?

viboes — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 14:02:23 GMT

BTW,

could you try defining BOOST_CHRONO_THREAD_DISABLED?

Replying to viboes:

Could you tell me which defines to use to check for HP compiler/pthread library used?

sure, the compiler macro according to predef is __HP_aCC and the OS macro is __hpux

Testing for this combination should be equivalent for testing for HP-UX phtread implementation presence

Do note that I am currently compiling in gcc emulation mode so __GNUC__ is also defined. I know there's gcc for hp.ux but I'm unsure if it uses hp-ux pthread implementation or something else.

Replying to viboes:

BTW,

could you try defining BOOST_CHRONO_THREAD_DISABLED?

sure, I added cxxflags=-DBOOST_CHRONO_THREAD_DISABLED to the bjam invocation and chrono and timer were built without errors.

What feature am I missing when this macro is defined?

Boost.Chrono try to see if there are thread clocks using some compiler flags. For what you mention, it seams that there is no support for thread clocks on use pthread library. When you define BOOST_CHRONO_THREAD_DISABLED this inspection is disabled.

I'm not able to compile boost 1.52 with gcc (tried 4.6.3, 4.7.2) with the same error

this patch helped me to get it complied and working with GCC on HP-UX

With which platform are you getting these errors? Which PThread library are you using? Which defines could be checked to identify it?

artem.goncharov@… — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:59:59 GMT

GCC on the HPUX. As mentioned in the patch - the initial problem is not aCC compiler problem, but the platform itself. I have extended initial patch to disable macroses also for GCC/hpux, but might be, that it is necessary to apply fix in case of hpux platform in general.

I'm facing the same issue as described above;

boost 1.55 platform: hp-ux 1131 compiler: gcc 4.6.3

The described "config patch" works fine ! Was the fix reported 10 months ago lost, and not merged into the trunk ?

I don't use to read the tickets that are already closed. artem.goncharov should had reported it by reopening the ticket or creating an additional one so that I could take care of it.

Does the pacth of #9379 fixes this issue?
