[thread] Multiply defined symbol boost::allocator_arg

[anonymous]

I'm updating from boost 1_49 to 1_50, a project that uses pre-compiled headers and MSVC 2010. I find I'm getting:

shared.lib(stdafx.obj) : error LNK2005: "struct boost::container::allocator_arg_t boost::allocator_arg" (?allocator_arg@boost@@3Uallocator_arg_t@container@1@A) already defined in stdafx.obj}}}

and consequently:

fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found

I'm wondering if perhaps the declaration of allocator_arg in thread/detail/memory.hpp should be:

BOOST_STATIC_CONSTEXPR allocator_arg_t allocator_arg = {};

P.S. I feel I'm really sticking my neck out commenting on your code, but it's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Hi, sorry it should be BOOST_CONSTEXPR_OR_CONST.

Please could you try with

BOOST_CONSTEXPR_OR_CONST allocator_arg_t allocator_arg = {};

I will commit it if it solves the issue.

Replying to viboes:

Hi, sorry it should be BOOST_CONSTEXPR_OR_CONST.

That fixes it.

Many thanks for all your work!
