Non-aligned pointer being freed

So I am running into the same issue as this thread: <http://old.nabble.com/-Boost.Test--Error:-Non-aligned-pointer-being-freed-td...
Is the patch included in that thread still safe to apply to the 1.41.0 release? _________________________________________________________ Mike Jackson mike.jackson@bluequartz.net BlueQuartz Software www.bluequartz.net Principal Software Engineer Dayton, Ohio

Just making the test_unit destructor virtual is the simplest fix for 1.41.0. Regards, Peter.

I agree. The patch also removes some compile warnings like the following: /Users/Shared/Toolkits/boost-1_39/include/boost-1_39/boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp:224: warning: ‘boost::test_tools::<unnamed>::check_is_close’ defined but not used which is wreaking havoc on my builds. Pretty sure I still have commit rights. Who else needs to review these changes so that they can be rolled into the next point release? _________________________________________________________ Mike Jackson mike.jackson@bluequartz.net

I went ahead and applied manually the patch to the 1.41.0 release. Has
this patch made it into SVN Trunk?
==> Can I go ahead and commit the changes?
The changes seem to have cleared up the double freeing of pointers
and some other compilation issues under OS X 64 bit compiles.

I think so. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/56467 In Christ, Steven Watanabe

So I see that the milestones just keep getting pushed back. Just when
exactly is this going to get rolled into an actual release? OS X 10.6
has been out since late August and any one who uses OS X 10.6 or
compiles in 64 bit on 10.5 WILL experience this bug.
