[Boost-users] Problems compiling Boost.Function using gcc-3.3 on MacOS X (Jaguar)

Hello,

I am trying to move a project of mine from gcc-3.1 to gcc-3.3 under  
MacOS X Jaguar. I'm using Apple's developer tools with the December  
2002 updater which included gcc-3.3. Everything compiles just fine  
under 3.1 but I really need to use precompiled headers which does not  
work very well. I have managed to precompile my prefix header using 3.3  
and I can also compile most of my source files using it. However, as  
soon as the compiler encounters a source file where Boost.Function is  
used I get an internal compiler error.

So, I wrote a small program (included at the end of this email) which  
demonstrates the error. It works just fine under 3.1 but not under 3.3.  
Using preferred or portable syntax makes no difference.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, or has it been fixed in  
Xcode? Perhaps I'm just doing something wrong? I'd really like to know  
before I file a bug. (I did a couple of searches on lists.boost.org but  
didn't find anything of interest.)

Thanks in advance,
Jens

------------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>

#include <boost/function.hpp>

void test( int x )
{
     std::cout << x << std::endl;
}

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
     boost::function<void (int)> __test(test);

     __test(5);

     return 0;
}
------------------------------------------------------------

Which gives the following error:
