8255,Wave build warnings are probably errors on 64-bit,chris0@…,Hartmut Kaiser,"Building Boost (1.53.0) Wave for i386 on OSX 10.8.2 with GCC 4.2.1 produces several very long warning messages (~26KB).
Having looked into this, these warnings appear to indicate programming '''errors''' if building for 64-bit (LP64) targets.

I built wave with:[[BR]]
    cd boost_1_53_0/tools/wave/build[[BR]]
    b2 variant=debug

The attached patch fixes these warning & should correct the LP64 errors.

However, a better fix may be to change the 'line' & 'column' data members & associated accessor functions of struct file_position in boost/wave/util/file_position.hpp from size_t (64-bit on LP64) to uint32_t (or equivalent).  (I think 32-bits is plenty big enough.)  But that decision I leave to the library owner.",Bugs,closed,To Be Determined,wave,Boost 1.53.0,Problem,fixed,,
