i'm writing on a programm which uses the boost date_time library [boost-version = 1.32.0] heavily; while i normally programm in linux using gcc-3.3.5 i also need to compile my program in windows from time to time. because it makes life easier with another library [gtkmm-2.4.8] i'm using mingw-3.4.2; everthing worked fine (my code contains about 10 000 lines using boost_date_time) until i started using a boost::gregorian::year_based_generator. while gcc-3.3.5 in liux accepts my code without even a single warning [with -Wall], mingw-3.4.2 complains - it seems that the compiler has problems with year_based_generator:

calendar.hpp:60: error: variable or field `insertGenerator' declared void calendar.hpp:60: error: expected `;' before '(' token calendar.hpp:92: error: expected `)' before '*' token calendar.hpp:95: error: using-declaration for non-member at class scope calendar.hpp:95: error: expected `;' before '*' token

here is the header:

...snip...

maybe somebody can give me a hint - or maybe point out an error in this header which is ignored by gcc-3.3.5. thanks, antonio

I don't have mingw 3.4 available to me (I have 3.2). I do know the regressions tests are passing for date_generators and 3.4 though.

Are you able to build the print_holidays example? It uses pointers to year_base_generators.

It's in libs/date_time/example/gregorian.

i'll try that in the next time and post the results of this experiment; be the way, i've now compiled my app in win succesfully by putting evrything which is somehow connected to year_based_generator into #ifndef WIN32_COMPILE .... #endif. that isn't too bad for the moment, because i don't use these methods by now in other parts of my prog [except unit tests]. but sooner or later i will ... antonio
