[Boost-users] Re: Re: boost regex support for 64-bit

The errors that we got:

1. The Workshop 6 errors (SunOS):

CC -c -O2 -I../../../ -o sunpro/libboost_regex/c_regex_traits.o ../src/c_regex_traits.cpp "../../..//boost/regex/v4/match_flags.hpp", line 91: Error: Cannot assign int to boost::regex_constants::_match_flags. "../../..//boost/regex/v4/match_flags.hpp", line 93: Error: Cannot assign int to boost::regex_constants::_match_flags. "../../..//boost/regex/v4/match_flags.hpp", line 95: Error: Cannot assign int to boost::regex_constants::_match_flags. 3 Error(s) detected.

These are just a few. The rest of the errors occured for the same reasons in various files. (If you want those too - let me know).

2. The aCC errors are (HP-IX): aCC -o generic/boost_regex/cpp_regex_traits.o -c -Aa -AA +O2 -I../../../ -O ../src/cpp_regex_traits.cpp Error 742: "../src/cpp_regex_traits.cpp", line 382 # Source type const char *& and target type char * in a const_cast can only differ in their qualifiers pmd->sbuf.pubsetbuf(const_cast(first), static_caststd::streamsize(last-first));

I mistakingly wrote dynamic_cast in the original post, but I meant const_cast. Sorry for the confusion.

Please notice that we had to add manually some flags to generic.mak (which is the makefile we used to build it on HP-IX). I'm aware of some example you gave in the html documentation about compiling with aCC - but we still had to change some flags. (I know these weren't formal settings and just an example).

Is there any chance that there will be a HP-IX-special makefile? It will make life much easier. :-)

3. I forgot to mension, that we managed to compile RegEX with SunOS C++ 5.5 both in 32 & 64 bits. There were no errors, BUT in 64 bits when we tried to run the rs/regress test - it failed (something which didn't happen in the 32-bits version). There was also a memory access violation, so even thought the compilation went just fine - apparently the library is not fully 64-bit compatible. What can we do to overcome this problem? Thanks alot, Yaron
