[Boost-users] Boost.Interprocess gcc 3.2.3 compilation problem

Hi all,

I've tried Interprocess library for a few days and everything seems to work
perfectly

However, when I try to compile example code with an older gcc (gcc 3.2.3),
I'm getting errors regarding
template instanciation

/homer/lvacca/interprocess-2006--10/boost/interprocess/allocators/allocator.hpp:62:
 no
   class template named `pointer_to_other' in `boost::interprocess::detail'

It seems gcc is unable to resolve the typedef in allocator.hpp (line 62)

typedef typename
      detail::pointer_to_other
         <aux_pointer_t, const void>::type   cvoid_ptr;

to template class pointer_to_other in utilities.hpp

Here are the different combos I tried:

gcc 3.3 works fine with the two interprocess librairies available in boost
vault (first release and october snapshot) and boost 1.33.1

gcc 3.2.3 + boost Interprocess + boost 1.33.1 fails

Is gcc 3.2.3 supposed to work and compile Boost.Interprocess code ?

Thanks a lot and congratulations for your great work!

Laurent
