Hello,
Today I upgraded to boost 1.33, which broke the 'program options' part
of my application. Copying of a
boost::program_options::options_description is not allowed anymore,
because of a const unsigned int m_line_length, defined at line 211 of
:
=====================================================================
Compiling: Configurator.o
Configurator.cpp: In member function `
boost::program_options::options_description&
boost::program_options::options_description::operator=(const
boost::program_options::options_description&)':
Configurator.cpp:13: error: non-static const member `const unsigned int
boost::program_options::options_description::m_line_length', can't
use
default assignment operator
make: *** [Configurator.o] Error 1
=====================================================================
I wonder, why is this not allowed anymore (except the obvious answer
that a const variable cannot be assigned a new value) ? What is the
"new", preferred way to copy these objects ?
Right now, I've fixed it by removing the const qualifier of that
variable, but I can see that's not the preferred way... :)
Regards,
Leon Mergen
