[SOLVED] Issues related to update to gcc 4.8?

Hi,

gcc 4.8 was "in my system update" today and after the upgrade the compilation of my C++ project fails. I'm a bit puzzled about the issues since I'm using clang for compiling the code, but however the errors point to gcc. For example:

./core/PacketTrap.cpp:21:18: error: no viable overloaded '='
    for (iterator=trappedPackets.begin(); iterator!=trappedPackets.end(); iterator++) {
         ~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    for (iterator=trappedPackets.begin(); iterator!=trappedPackets.end(); iterator++) {
                                          ~~~~~~~~^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    operator!=(const pair<_T1, _T2>& __x, const pair<_T1, _T2>& __y)
    ^

    operator!=(const reverse_iterator<_IteratorL>& __x,

    operator!=(const __normal_iterator<_IteratorL, _Container>& __lhs,

And this goes on and on. Maybe somebody can give me a hint which has changed most recently and why somehow it is not possible to deduct the type in the containers I'm using (at least that seems to be the problem). Also, why is it using code in gcc 4.8 - somehow I was expecting that clang uses the libstdc++  code.

Thanks in advance!
Best regards,

P.S.: I can give you the link to the github repository. However, this seems to be a compiler issue and not a code issue (since it worked before and something is messed up).

Without a link to the code, this is merely a guessing game.

I don't think that is really "related" to the code since it compiles fine at my workstation at home (here, it is gcc 4.7.2, clang 3.2). However, here is the link to the code:

https://github.com/des-testbed/Ara-Sim/ … etTrap.cpp

I strongly advice you not to checkout and try to compile it since it requires OMNeT++ (a network simulator (in AUR)) and the INETMANET package (which is a submodule) to the projects repository.

Re: [SOLVED] Issues related to update to gcc 4.8?

Looks like you should be using a

std::unordered_map<std::shared_ptr<Address>, std::unordered_set<Packet*, PacketHash, PacketPredicate>*, AddressHash, AddressPredicate>::iterator

not a

std::unordered_map<std::shared_ptr<Address>, std::unordered_set<Packet*, PacketHash, PacketPredicate>*>::iterator

If I had a dollar every time I heard a similar statement I'd... well, I'd have less than a hundred dollars, sure.

For something as straightforward as iterators, I'd be very very very surprised if it was a GCC bug.  Suspect your code first, always.

Okay, that was actually the "problem". Thank you very much for your help. However, I still don't understand why this was not an issue with gcc<=4.8.

You are absolutely right, but if the code works on every machine which has an older version of gcc/clang and breaks on every machine with the current version you suspect that there is at least a change in the "evaluation" of the code.

Re: [SOLVED] Issues related to update to gcc 4.8?

Probably because gcc (actually libstdc++, the gcc implementation of the STL) had a bug which is now fixed.
