Re: [boost] Shmem shared_ptr issue with gcc 3.3.x

Hi,

gcc 3.3.x is not officially supported in Shmem and shared_ptr for shared 
memory is not even in the documentation (because it was a working 
version). Glad to know there is a brave Shmem user ;-)! 
sp_counted_base.hpp defines only:

#include <boost/config.hpp>

#if defined( WIN32 ) || defined( _WIN32 ) || defined( __WIN32__ )

# include <boost/shmem/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base_w32.hpp>

#elif defined( BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS )

//Ordinary pthreads counted base is not enough
//we need process shared attributte.
# include <boost/shmem/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base_pt.hpp>

#else

// Use #define BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS to avoid the error
# error Unrecognized threading platform

#endif

This might say that BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS is not detected. Maybe by default 
pthreads is not activated with your installed gcc (are you sure you are 
compiling multithreaded code?). I the only advice I can think is to add 
-pthread flag to the command line if you don't have that flag.

"gcc --version" output and platform description would also be helpful.

Regards,

Ion
