https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6996 <p> When using gcc 4.7 with AIX, the sp_counted_base.hpp logic falls through to the sp_counted_base_gcc_ppc.hpp header which seems to be specifically for PPC Linux. When using gcc on AIX the system as is used, which does not support the syntax included in this file. </p> <p> The reason for this seems to be the fact that in gcc 4.7 the <span class="underline">powerpc</span> define has been added to the built-in defines. This means the conditions are now matched for using the gcc ppc version of the fix. </p> <p> I think the define needs to be enhanced either with a check for GNU Assembler being used or the _AIX is not defined. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6996 Trac 1.4.3 crispin.boylan@… Fri, 14 Sep 2012 18:25:43 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6996 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6996 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">boost_1_51_0-aix_gcc.patch</span> </li> </ul> <p> Patch to compile on aix with gcc 4.7 </p> Ticket Peter Dimov Wed, 31 Oct 2012 20:16:58 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6996#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/6996#comment:2 <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">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/81332" title="Merged [81126] from trunk.
