Compilation fails with incomplete type ‘boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false>

[Trystan Larey-Williams <trystan@…>]

OS: Fedora 17 GCC: g++ (GCC) 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5)

Attached is a small code snippet that fails to compile on the system specs listed above. It compiled successfully prior to upgrading from F16 -> F17 (I believe both gcc and boost were upgraded).

The code and the resulting console errors are attached.

I think the assertion gives you the hint:

Allocator type must be std::pair<CONST Key, T> BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT((container_detail::is_same<std::pair<const Key, T>, typename A::value_type>::value));

You are not using CONST for allocator pair first param and this is required also for std::map. New boost version added this check to detect the error early. Change your code to:

typedef boost::interprocess::pair<const unsigned int, unsigned int> MyPair;
