Hi,
I discovered a compile issue when using boosts integer_mask.
The following simple program compiles fine with clang but fails with gcc.
#include <iostream>
#include
#include
int main()
{
typedef boost::low_bits_mask_t<2> mask_type_t;
std::cout << mask_type_t::sig_bits << std::endl;
return 0;
}
I took both clang and gcc from the svn trunk and boost in version 1.63.
I did not have the time yet to dig through the boost implementation but I
could not find anything in the issue tracker.
So is this a compiler error of gcc or is this a bug in boost.
I was able to find a stackoverflow question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40291949/boostinteger-mask-gcc-compiler-e...
And the answer sounds reasonable to me that this is a bug in boost.
Can anyone confirm this? And why does clang accept this?
Thanks,
Michael
