[Boost-users] circular buffer and gcc 4.0.0

Hello,

I need to use gcc 4.0 and circular buffer. But this latter seems
unusuable with gcc 4.0. It gives a lots of error messages.

Here is the 2 irst error messages:

in debug.hpp:

/home/torri/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/circular_buffer/debug.hpp:60:
error: invalid use of undefined type 'const struct
boost::cb_details::cb_iterator_base'
/home/torri/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/circular_buffer/debug.hpp:22:
error: forward declaration of 'const struct
boost::cb_details::cb_iterator_base'

the 2 classes in debug.hpp are cross-referenced. It seems that the forward
declaration is not sufficient for gcc 4.0.

in base.hpp:

/home/torri/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/circular_buffer/base.hpp:139:
error: using typedef-name 'boost::circular_buffer<T, Alloc>::iterator'
after 'struct'
/home/torri/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/circular_buffer/base.hpp:105:
error: 'boost::circular_buffer<T, Alloc>::iterator' has a previous
declaration here
/home/torri/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/circular_buffer/base.hpp:139:
error: friend declaration does not name a class or function

gcc 4.0 doesn't like the 'struct' word. Putting the 'class' word instead
of struct gives error too:

/home/torri/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/circular_buffer/base.hpp:139:
error: a class-key must be used when declaring a friend
/home/torri/local/include/boost-1_33/boost/circular_buffer/base.hpp:139:
error: friend declaration does not name a class or function

Does someone see solutions for these problems ?

Jan: it would be great if you try to finish circular buffer :)

thank you
