[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#485512: libboost1.35-dev: boost::gil incompatible with g++-4.3 ?

[Tim Day]

Package: libboost1.35-dev
Version: 1.35.0-5
Severity: important


If I create the 2-line file giltest.cpp containing:
#include <typeinfo>
#include <boost/gil/gil_all.hpp>

And compile it with
  g++-4.2 -c giltest.cpp
then there are no errors reported.

However
  g++-4.3 -c giltest.cpp
emits:
---
  In file included from /usr/include/boost/gil/bit_aligned_pixel_iterator.hpp:28,
                 from /usr/include/boost/gil/algorithm.hpp:27,
                 from /usr/include/boost/gil/gil_all.hpp:27,
                 from giltest.cpp:2:
/usr/include/boost/gil/bit_aligned_pixel_reference.hpp:160: error: declaration of ‘const boost::gil::bit_range<boost::gil::bit_aligned_pixel_reference<B, C, L, M>::bit_size, IsMutable>& boost::gil::bit_aligned_pixel_reference<B, C, L, M>::bit_range() const’
/usr/include/boost/gil/bit_aligned_pixel_reference.hpp:46: error: changes meaning of ‘bit_range’ from ‘class boost::gil::bit_range<boost::gil::bit_aligned_pixel_reference<B, C, L, M>::bit_size, IsMutable>’
---

With g++-4.2 it doesn't even need the typeinfo include, but that helps avoid
some other errors from the 4.3 compile to do with std::bad_cast.
