Description Denis Arnaud 2011-06-23 13:54:38 UTC

Description of problem:
There is an error of compilation on Fedora 15 (with g++ 4.6) when compiling some C++ code including the JSON-related header of the Boost::Property_Tree module. That bug is reported into a dedicated Boost ticket (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5424) and has been fixed in Boost 1.46.1.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Boost 1.46.0, g++ 4.6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a simple C++ program, which includes the boost/property_tree/json_parser.hpp header.
2. Compile it (with g++ 4.6) on Fedora 15.
  
Actual results:
Compilation error: "error: reference to 'assertion' is ambiguous" (and many more lines)


Expected results:
No compilation error.

Comment 1 Denis Arnaud 2011-06-23 14:19:24 UTC

Boost-1.46.0 has to be patched on Fedora 15 (I can do it). The patch can be seen on GitHub (https://github.com/boost-lib/property_tree/commit/359d7a7ce50ba66bafbd8e4e909f1d4805099e52#include/boost/property_tree/detail/json_parser_read.hpp), as well as the target header file (https://github.com/boost-lib/property_tree/blob/master/include/boost/property_tree/detail/json_parser_read.hpp).
