7335	Using Boost.Pool requires to link with Boost.System	Ivan A. Melnikov <iv@…>	Chris Newbold	"Boost.Pool documentation says:

  The Boost Pool library is a header-only library. That means there is no .lib, 
  .dll, or .so to build; just add the Boost directory to your compiler's include
  file path, and you should be good to go!

But in fact, in boost 1.51.0 on my system (ALT Linux x86_64) it uses Boost.Thread parts which bring Boost.System in, and thus I get the following linking error:

{{{
$ cat a.cpp

#include <boost/pool/pool_alloc.hpp>

int main() { return 0; }

$ g++ a.cpp
/tmp/.private/iv/ccqf3pLa.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':
a.cpp:(.text+0x4a): undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'
a.cpp:(.text+0x56): undefined reference to `boost::system::generic_category()'
a.cpp:(.text+0x62): undefined reference to `boost::system::system_category()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

}}}

Of course, adding -lboost_system helps.

Not shure if it is Boost.Pool, Boost.Thread or just Boost.Pool documentation bug."	Bugs	closed	Boost 1.52.0	pool	Boost 1.51.0	Problem	duplicate		flast@… vslavik@… bimargulies@…
