My build fails with Boost 1.60.0 beta 1 due to a change in boost/lexical_cast.hpp that is a revert of a change made in 1.59.0. The change in 1.59.0 is commit bdc3557. The revert is 424320d9a18b17c55c86012673722ca1b42dcfa9 (https://github.com/boostorg/lexical_cast/commit/424320d9a18b17c55c8601267372...). The comment for the commit doesn't really explain why the change was reverted. I'm using GCC 4.4.7 on CentOS 6.

I found another issue with a bad compiler version check in boost/interprocess/detail/config_begin.hpp before using "#pragma GCC diagnostic push", which, for GCC, is only available at version 4.6.0 and later. Since I'm using GCC 4.4.7, my compile fails. In boost/interprocess/detail/config_begin.hpp, " #if defined(BOOST_GCC) && (BOOST_GCC >= 40000)" is used. There are several other Boost files that look like they have more robust checks. Here are two of them: · boost/test/detail/suppress_warnings.hpp has "#if defined(BOOST_GCC) && (BOOST_GCC >= 4 * 10000 + 6 * 100)" · boost/random/detail/disable_warnings.hpp has " #if defined(BOOST_GCC) && BOOST_GCC >= 40600" Thanks, Shane Turner From: Shane Turner Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2015 2:06 PM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: RE: [Boost-users] Boost release 1.60.0 beta 1 is now available from SourceForge My build fails with Boost 1.60.0 beta 1 due to a change in boost/lexical_cast.hpp that is a revert of a change made in 1.59.0.

I've noticed that https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5598 still isn't patched in 1.60.0 beta 1. Any chance we can get the documented patch into the release for 1.60.0? Our GCC 4.4.7 build on CentOS chokes without the patch, mind you we have warnings elevated to errors, so I understand it's never been a priority fix.
