Re: [Boost-users] boost exceptions on MacOS 10.5

Hi Mat,

I just found out that the problem exists only when linking with the 
release lib. You were linking with the debug lib of boost_filesystem, 
which works fine on my system, too.

Can you reproduce the error with the release lib on your system?

See below for details.

On my system it looks like this:

darwin.compile.c++ 
bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/darwin/release/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/exception.o

     "g++"  -ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline 
-Wall -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk 
-mmacosx-version-min=10.4 -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -gdwarf-2 
-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DNDEBUG  -I"." -c -o 
"bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/darwin/release/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/exception.o" 
"libs/filesystem/src/exception.cpp"

Please note that I use the release version, which explains the "-O3 
-finline-functions" difference. Also, I did not modify any options, nor 
did I modify the g++ environment in any way.

$ sudo mv 
projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries/bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/darwin/release/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/libboost_filesystem-mt-1_34_1.a 
/usr/local/lib

$ ls /usr/local/lib/libboost*
/usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt-1_34_1.a

Now the simple way first:

$ g++ -c test.cpp -I./projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries -o test.o
$ g++ -o test test.o /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt-1_34_1.a
$ ./test
terminate called after throwing an instance of 
'boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::string, 
boost::filesystem::path_traits> >'
   what():  boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator constructor
Abort trap

Adding all your options:

$ rm ./test ./test.o
$ g++ -c test.cpp -I./projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries 
-ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -isysroot 
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 
-Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -gdwarf-2 -Werror -Wall -Wno-trigraphs 
-Wreturn-type -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Woverloaded-virtual -Wformat 
-Wmissing-braces -Wparentheses -Wswitch -Wunused-function -Wunused-label 
-Wunused-parameter -Wunused-variable -Wunused-value -Wunknown-pragmas 
-Wsign-compare -DADOBE_SERIALIZATION -DADOBE_STD_SERIALIZATION 
-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB -DBOOST_SIGNALS_STATIC_LINK 
-DBOOST_THREAD_BUILD_LIB=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB -DNOMINMAX -o test.o
$ g++ -o test test.o /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt-1_34_1.a -g 
-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.4 
-Xlinker -Y -Xlinker 5 -lSystemStubs
$ ./test
terminate called after throwing an instance of 
'boost::filesystem::basic_filesystem_error<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::string, 
boost::filesystem::path_traits> >'
   what():  boost::filesystem::basic_directory_iterator constructor
Abort trap

Using the debug lib works like a charme:

sudo mv 
projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries/bin.v2/libs/filesystem/build/darwin/debug/link-static/macosx-version-10.4/threading-multi/libboost_filesystem-mt-d-1_34_1.a 
/usr/local/lib

$ g++ -c test.cpp -I./projects/adobe_root/boost_libraries -o test.o
$ g++ -o test test.o /usr/local/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt-d-1_34_1.a
$ ./test
This is never printed on MacOS 10.5.

I'm using the latest release of asl (1.0.35).
