[Boost-users] [boost][multiprecision] compile error with gcc 4.8.4

Please see the scenario below...am I doing something wrong or is this a gcc or multiprecision bug?

Thanks,

Rob Conde

given the following code (multiPrecisionTest.cpp):

#include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp>
#include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_bin_float.hpp>

typedef boost::multiprecision::int128_t int128_t;
typedef boost::multiprecision::cpp_bin_float_quad float128_t;

int main()
{
   int128_t intVal;
   float128_t floatVal(intVal.convert_to<float128_t>());

   return 0;
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

g++ -std=c++0x -c multiPrecisionTest.cpp

I get the following error:
