[Boost-users] boost 1.48, Qt and [Parse error at "BOOST_JOIN"] error

[qplace]

When I switched from boost 1.47 to 1.48 I started to get multiple compile-time
errors: Parse error at "BOOST_JOIN", pointing to
boost/type_traits/detail/has_binary_operator.hp(50)

Falling back to 1.47 made this problem go away.

I found discussion about this problem here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/71406/focus=71459

There is a solution suggested in the above thread, but it is specific to the
software that the author has problems with.

Risking double-post, (I posted in this thread as well), I'd like to ask for
generic suggestion of fixing this problem in 1.48.

Well, it is specific to Qt. Q_MOC_RUN is the designed workaround for missing
c++ support in the moc.

Well, in the aforementioned thread the TypeTraits maintainer came to the
correct conclusion that this is definetely a moc bug. It simply fails to parse
several type_traits header which are valid c++.
So please file a bug at Qt's bugtracker for this. It would be nice if you could
post the ticket number here so we can track this.

Yours,

Jürgen

Hi, Jurgen

Here is the link to the qt bug report:
https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-22829

I am somewhat pessimistic about a speedy response from Qt. May be the
maintainer of the boost library could suggest a general workaround that can
make 1.48 release compatible with 1.47 release? Otherwise I (and I think many
others) will be stuck with 1.47. Please let me know if I can assist in any way.

Regards,

Michael.
