PC-Lint issues

12 Aug 2005

      When I lint my code, using boost 1-32, using PC-Lint I get some issues on the Boost code.
I use 'PC-lint for C/C++ (NT) Vers. 8.00r, Copyright Gimpel Software 1985-2005' so the
new patch that should deal with Boost better.

These are the issues;
    BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(bool, value = helper::value);
C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32\boost\type_traits\is_enum.hpp(143): error 1061: (Error -- public member 'boost::mpl::bool_<<1>>::value' is not accessible through non-public inheritance)
BOOST_MPL_HAS_XXX_TRAIT_NAMED_DEF(has_apply, apply, false)
C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32\boost\mpl\aux_\has_apply.hpp(22): error 64: (Error -- Type mismatch (arg. no. 1) (volatile const boost::mpl::aux::has_apply_wrapper_<T> * = boost::mpl::aux::has_apply_wrapper_<T> *))
BOOST_MPL_HAS_XXX_TRAIT_NAMED_DEF(has_tag, tag, false)
C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32\boost\mpl\aux_\has_tag.hpp(20): error 64: (Error -- Type mismatch (arg. no. 1) (volatile const boost::mpl::aux::has_tag_wrapper_<T> * = boost::mpl::aux::has_tag_wrapper_<T> *))

Are these Boost or PC-Lint issues?

These are descriptions of the issues;

1061  String member 'Symbol' is not accessible through
      non-public inheritance  -- There is an attempt to access a
      private, protected or public member (the text of the
      message indicates which kind as well as which member) of a
      class through a class derived from the original.  There is
      an access violation (see  1060 for the more common access
      violation) critically dependent on the fact that the
      inheritance relationship is non-public.   [11 section
      11.2]

64    Type mismatch (Context) (TypeDiff)  -- There was a
      mismatch in types across an assignment (or implied
      assignment, see Context).  TypeDiff specifies the type
      difference.  See options -epn, -eps, -epu, -epp (Section
      5.2 Error Inhibition Options) to suppress this message
      when assigning some kinds of pointers.
