When I try to include boost/static_assert.hpp on Texas Instruments compiler (TMS320C6x C/C++ Compiler v7.3.8) I get an error ""... ../cots/boost/boost/config/suffix.hpp"", line 574: error !#284: the global scope has no ""type_info"" There is a fault place: {{{ // When BOOST_NO_STD_TYPEINFO is defined, we can just import // the global definition into std namespace: #if defined(BOOST_NO_STD_TYPEINFO) && defined(__cplusplus) #include namespace std{ using ::type_info; } #endif }}} Source of issue is that boost incorrectly determines presence of type_info in std namespace: boost/config/stdlib/dinkumware.hpp: {{{ #include #if ( (!_HAS_EXCEPTIONS && !defined(__ghs__)) || (!_HAS_NAMESPACE && defined(__ghs__)) ) # define BOOST_NO_STD_TYPEINFO #endif }}} At this moment my workaround is to add !defined(!__TI_COMPILER_VERSION!__) to condition above. Previously I used boost 1.37 which has no ""BOOST_NO_STD_TYPEINFO"" section in dinkumware.hpp file. TI has some specific config for boost (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Building_and_Running_Boost_Code_with_the_C6000_Compiler). This issue takes place with these patches also.
