Re: [boost] [review] outcome broken on clang with libstdc++ (Linux) and Apple clang with libc++

b2 libs/afio/test works fine with VS2017. So it would seem that that ICE Vinnie encountered is some weird corner case nobody could have anticipated. As I mentioned, almost all of the development of Outcome was done on MSVC. It's very well tested on MSVC, and I've never seen anything like that ICE before.

I just tried boost-outcome unit tests with clang 4.0, 5.0 on Linux with libstdc++ with -std=c++14 and -std=c++1z which fails with many errors: e.g. In file included from libs/outcome/test/tests/comparison.cpp:35: In file included from libs/outcome/test/tests/../../include/boost/outcome/outcome.hpp:34: In file included from libs/outcome/test/tests/../../include/boost/outcome/detail/outcome_exception_observers.hpp:34: In file included from libs/outcome/test/tests/../../include/boost/outcome/detail/result_storage.hpp:34: libs/outcome/test/tests/../../include/boost/outcome/detail/../success_failure.hpp:54:42: error: no template named 'conditional_t' in namespace 'std'; did you mean 'conditional'? template <class T> using devoid = std::conditional_t; ~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~ conditional /usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../../include/c++/4.8/type_traits:1780:12: note: 'conditional' declared here struct conditional ^ Then I also tried the boost-outcome unit tests with Apple clang 8.1.0 with libc++ with -std=c++14 and -std=c++1z which fails with errors like: clang-darwin.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/outcome/test/outcome-int-int-1.test/clang-darwin-4.2.1/debug/cxxstd-14-iso/outcome-int-int-1.o libs/outcome/test/compile-fail/outcome-int-int-1.cpp:12:26: error: no matching constructor for initialization of 'outcome' outcome m(5); ^ ~ libs/outcome/test/compile-fail/../../include/boost/outcome/outcome.hpp:222:31: note: candidate constructor (the implicit copy constructor) not viable: no known conversion from 'int' to 'const boost::outcome_v2::outcome' for 1st argument class BOOST_OUTCOME_NODISCARD outcome ^ Is this also a known issue? Only gcc 6 and gcc 7 with lisbtdc++ on Linux seem to pass. The other combinations I tried (clang + lisbtdc++ on Linux, Apple clang + libc++) do not. Glen
