Hi

Not sure if this belongs on this list or the Boost.Build list, but the problem exists when using Boost as well as building it.

I’m using Boost with the ARM-ELF-GCC toolchain with gcc version 4.0.1. When building the Boost serialization library, I get the following error:

./boost/archive/basic_binary_oarchive.hpp:80: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false>'

It turns out that sizeof(class_id_type ) == 4 in stead of 2, where class_id_type is defined as follows:

class class_id_type {

private:

typedef int_least16_t base_type;

    base_type t;

…

};

Using a toolchain with a more recent gcc version (arm-none-eabi-gcc 4.4.1) works correctly, but unfortunately I need to get Boost working with the old toolchain as well. I have tried to add __attribute__ ((packed)) to the class declaration, but that breaks as well (cannot bind packed field in operator int_least16_t).

Is there anything I can do to rectify the situation?

My user-config.jam contains the following:

using gcc : armelf :  "arm-elf-gcc.exe" :

                <cxxflags>-DBOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T

I’m building boost with the following command .\b2 variant=debug,release link=static threading=single toolset=gcc-armelf --debug-configuration --debug-building --with-serialization stage

Any help will be appreciated.
