Hi, mongo-cxx-driver notices this: "Important note about C++11/C++14: The boost libraries do not offer a stable ABI across different versions of the C++ standard. As a result, you must ensure that your application, the C++ driver, and boost are all built with the same language standard. In particular, if you are building the C++ driver with C++11 enabled, you must also build your application with C++11 enabled, and link against a C++11 compiled boost. " [1] Is it true? What changes with new standard? (or is this only related to ABI change in gcc introduced by c++11?) I'm interested mainly in libraries: filesystem, chrono, thread, system and regex Thanks, Marek [1] http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-cxx-driver/legacy-v1/installation/#s cons-options-when-compiling-the-c-driver
They are probably referring to the changes wrt std::string and std::list Pre-C++11 a lot of standard libraries used copy-on-write strings, which was forbidden in C++11. std::list now has to have O(1) size, which is another possibly ABI incompatible change.

Thank you all for your answers. So generally boost is not affected by -std=c++XY. Asio library is exception. I hope I get it right. Probably mongo-cxx-driver upstream was referring to gcc dual ABI problem and that it can affect Boost too. Thanks again, Marek Miloslav Marik via Boost-users píše v St 21. 06. 2017 v 17:23 +0200:

That page explicitly points out that choosing a standard version with -std does not affect the ABI: "Although the changes were made for C++11 conformance, the choice of ABI to use is independent of the -std option used to compile your code, i.e. for a given GCC build the default value of the _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI macro is the same for all dialects. This ensures that the -std does not change the ABI, so that it is straightforward to link C++03 and C++11 code together."

Hi, As far as I can remember, the problem with ABI compatibility was with boost/asio/detail/atomic_count.hpp. You can force ABI compatibility using BOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_STD_ATOMIC definition. I have not detect any other ABI compatibility problem between C++03 and C++11. Best Regards, Slavek 2017-06-26 12:34 GMT+02:00 Jonathan Wakely via Boost-users < boost-users@lists.boost.org>:

I can't speak for the libraries you mention above. But regarding Boost libraries in general many Boost libraries are unaffected in their public interface whether you compile with C++03, C++11, C++14, or C++17 support. If a library is affected in its public interface depending on the level of C++ support it should document this and, needless to say if it is a built library whether static or shared, it should have a distinct library name depending on its differing public interfaces.
Thanks, Marek

Well, as soon as you have a string, you may have incompatibilities. And lots of Boost libraries do use them. 2017-06-21 16:16 GMT+01:00 Edward Diener via Boost-users < boost-users@lists.boost.org>:
