We have used the boost thread library in 32 bits for more than a year. Congrats, it works like a charm. We recently moved our product to Solaris 9 64 bits and now we get compilation errors. (We use forte7.) CC -c -I/BINARIES/sol9/opt/boost_1_30_0 -I../../../ -Qoption CC -xcomdat -mt -fast -xarch=v9 -DBOOST_HAS_THREADS -o sunpro/libboost_thread/condition.o ../src/condition.cpp "../../..//boost/limits.hpp", line 35: Error: Multiple declaration for std::numeric_limits<long long>. "../../..//boost/limits.hpp", line 88: Error: Multiple declaration for std::numeric_limits<unsigned long long>. 2 Error(s) detected. make: *** [sunpro/libboost_thread/condition.o] Error 2 The problem seems to be in ./config/stdlib. I hacked roguewave.hpp to artificially increase the roguewave version number: #ifndef _RWSTD_VER # define BOOST_RWSTD_VER 0x010000 #elif _RWSTD_VER < 0x010000 # define BOOST_RWSTD_VER (_RWSTD_VER << 8) #else # ifdef __sparcv9 # define BOOST_RWSTD_VER 0x20200 # else # define BOOST_RWSTD_VER _RWSTD_VER # endif #endif Now, compilation works fine: CC -c -I/BINARIES/sol9/opt/boost_1_30_0 -I../../../ -Qoption CC -xcomdat -mt -fast -xarch=v9 -DBOOST_HAS_THREADS -o sunpro/libboost_thread/tss.o ../src/tss.cpp "../src/tss.cpp", line 192: Warning (Anachronism): Formal argument 2 of type extern "C" void(*)(void*) in call to pthread_key_create(unsigned*, extern "C" void(*)(void*)) is being passed void(*)(void*). 1 Warning(s) detected. (We've had the warning for the longest time.) I am no boost expert, but that seems to have taken care of the problem: the library works fine as far as I can tell. Are there side effects that I may not be aware of? Is forte7 64 bits generally supported right out of the box?
