Hi,
while instantiating this template, the Intel compiler finds that there is an extra colon when Args is empty.
::new( pv ) T( boost::detail::sp_forward<Arg1>( arg1 ), boost::detail::sp_forward<Args>( args )... ); ^ Is this a bug on the compiler or on Boost.SmartPtr?
I have no idea where an extra colon could come from, but maybe you mean an extra comma. This should be a compiler bug.
Hi,
could I commit this patch ... +template< class T, class... Args > typename boost::detail::sp_if_not_array< T >::type make_shared( Args && ... args )
I'm not sure how this could help. This overload is either ambiguous with the Arg1&& one, or less specialized. Do the make_shared tests pass on all compilers after the patch? The reason that there are two overloads, one without arguments, the other with Arg1&& and Args&&..., is that earlier versions of g++ treated new T(args...) as new T when args... is empty, instead of the correct new T(). There is a test that checks for this bug. If the current crop of supported compilers no longer suffers from it, the two overloads can be replaced by the simple variadic Args... version. But adding the Args... version in addition to the other two makes no sense to me.
