https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9329 <p> This patch avoids the following errors when compiling the library using Sun CC (Sun C++ 5.10 SunOS_i386 2009/06/03): </p> <pre class="wiki">"libs/program_options/src/options_description.cpp", line 422: Error, nomatchoverin: Could not find a match for std::count&lt;std::_InputIterator, std::_T, std::_Size&gt;(char*, char*, char) needed in::format_paragraph(std::ostream &amp;, std::string, unsigned, unsigned).

OTOH neither of them is really necessary so I hope this patch can be applied nevertheless. With <code>reverse_iterator</code> it's more mysterious but, again, IMHO its use in the original code is not really needed, so I've just replaced it with <code>rfind()</code>. </p> <p> The last error is clear: this compiler standard library doesn't provide template ctor of <code>std::vector</code> from an iterator pair, so an alternative method of constructing it must be used. This does make the code less concise and elegant, but unfortunately I don't see any other way to make it work in this case. </p> <p> TIA! </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9329 Trac 1.4.3 vz-boost@… Wed, 30 Oct 2013 23:23:32 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9329 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9329 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">suncc_po.diff</span> </li> </ul> <p> Proposed patch to fix the build with Sun CC </p> Ticket
