Compiling with <cgalgeometry_p> & MSVC

[zacharias2k]

This error keeps annoying me for a few weeks now, still haven't found any solution.

Compilerlog boost/utility/detail/result_of_iterate.hpp(125): error C2893: Funktionsvorlage 'add_rvalue_reference::type boost::declval(void)' konnte nicht spezialisiert werden

Source DynAlp (\DynaMind-ToolBox\DynaMind-DynAlp\src\urbandevelDivision.h) and PowerVIBe (e.g. \DynaMind-ToolBox\PowerVIBe\src\advancedparceling.cpp) both cause this error uppon using Arrangement_2. See cgalgeometry_p.h (\DynaMind-ToolBox\DynaMind-Extensions\src\cgalgeometry_p.h) for further definition of the used traits.

Conditions

• VS110 and VS120
• boost 1.52.0., 1.53.0, 1.55.
• CGAL 4.1 & 4.3

Possible reasons

• Mixed usage of different boost / cgal versions - both checked via diagnostic logs, but still possible.
• MSVC bug - no reports to this or similar bugs
• CGAL bug - no reports to this or similar bugs
• Boost bug - unlikely (checked different versions) but still possible
• Issue with the CGALs internal boost include (\CGAL\include\boost)

had troubles with cgal and C++11 and had to change for a while to the c++98 standard to make it work. Can't really remember what the error message was, but this one looks familiar.

[zacharias2k]

You are right, it seems to be a C++11 issue, compiling with C89 removes the error, but unfortunately I need at least C99 - which is not possible in MSVC :-(

Update: The error origins from GDAL. Including it along with cgal leads to the error.

Solution: Remove GDAL include (for now).
