[gecode-users] Boost and ABI

[Christian Schulte]

Hi David,

That's a strange error indeed, never seen it myself when compiling with MSVC
2010. This appears to come when combining the Gecode Float module and also
including boost once again.

Gecode does expose some boost data types (the floating point intervals used
in the Float model are based on the boost interval type).

Now, I have three answers for you ;-)
 1. as I hand-extracted (the boost scripts actually did not work for me) the
relevant parts from boost some files could have been skipped...
 2. if I understand the macro correctly it should work to define
BOOST_DISABLE_ABI_HEADERS provided you build Gecode yourself. 
 3. you can disable the Float module by passing -disable-float-vars to
configure, then Gecode does not use boost.

Could you do me a favor and try 1.? I have attached a patch that adds the
ABI files. If it works I'll commit them to the trunk.

Thanks and cheers
Christian

Dear All,

I am upgrading to Gecode version 4.2.1 (from verion 3.7.2) compiling on
Visual 2010 and get an error that the compiler can not include:

gecode-4.2.1\include\gecode\third-party\boost\config\abi\msvc_prefix.hpp

I can get rid of the error by defining the preprocessor definition
BOOST_DISABLE_ABI_HEADERS which is only safe if Gecode does not expose any
of the boost data types (I am linking Gecode into a project that already is
linked/using boost). 

Does Gecode indeed want me to define BOOST_DISABLE_ABI_HEADERS or am I
missing something (other than the header file)?

thanks,
