#6148: MinGW : Boost.Thread defaults to DLL linkage
------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: Cyril Othenin-Girard <cog@â¦> | Owner: anthonyw
Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: thread
Version: Boost 1.48.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: MinGW thread static link |
------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
I compile boost-1.48 with GCC 4.6.1 using MinGW-32 3.10 on Windows XP.
I confirm the last comment of '''WFrane''' in ticket #4614 :

required for static linking when using MinGW (tested using Boost 1.45.0
and MinGW 4.4.1).
I also built BOOST libraries as static ones (which is the default on
MinGW).
Nevertheless, I have to explicitly add '''-DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB''' to my
project makefile to avoid a lot of warnings like :
{{{
boost-1.48/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:59:40: warning: inline
function 'void* boost::detail::allocate_raw_heap_memory(unsigned int)'
declared as dllimport: attribute ignored [-Wattributes]
boost-1.48/thread/win32/thread_heap_alloc.hpp:69:39: warning: inline
function 'void boost::detail::free_raw_heap_memory(void*)' declared as
dllimport: attribute ignored [-Wattributes]
}}}
This is not required on other Win32 platforms.
Now than MinGW has Thread-Local-Storage automatic clean-up (''confirmation
needed''), is it possible to default to static library linkage instead of
DLL ?
