Source: gcc-8 Version: 8.2.0-10 Severity: serious Affects: src:performous Hello, after trying to debug why src:performous was FTBFS on ppc64el, I got this issue:
test example reproducing the issue: cat test.c++ #include <boost/predef.h> #include <stdio.h> #if BOOST_OS_LINUX #warning "OS LINUX DEFINED" #endif int main() { printf("%d\n", BOOST_OS_WINDOWS); printf("%d\n", BOOST_OS_LINUX); } apt-get install libboost-dev on an amd64 machine this happens: $ g++ test.c++ test.c++:5:2: warning: #warning "OS LINUX DEFINED" [-Wcpp] #warning "OS LINUX DEFINED" ^~~~~~~ $ g++ test.c++ -std=c++14 test.c++:5:2: warning: #warning "OS LINUX DEFINED" [-Wcpp] #warning "OS LINUX DEFINED" ^~~~~~~ (everything is ok) on a ppc64el machine this happens instead: g++ test.c++ test.c++:5:2: warning: #warning "OS LINUX DEFINED" [-Wcpp] #warning "OS LINUX DEFINED" ^~~~~~~ g++ test.c++ -std=c++14 (NO WARNINGS HERE). this is why the package FTBFS, because that macro is not defined when std is defined. Any idea? (this might be a boost issue, but I can't prove it!) same happens with old g++-7, and with c++0x or c++11 G.
