I have boost map with the definition as below:
typedef std::pair< int,complex_data > map_value_type;
typedef boost::interprocess::allocator<map_value_typemanaged_shared_memory::segment_manager> map_value_type_allocator;
typedef boost::interprocess::map< int, complex_data, std::less< int>,map_value_type_allocator > complex_map_type;
I took the code from http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/doc/html/interprocess/allocators_containers.html#interprocess.allocators_containers.containers_explained.containers_of_containers and replaced the keys with integers. However I am getting the following error i can not resolve:
/usr/include/boost/container/map.hpp:147:1: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false>’
If I replace the keys the code seems to work fine. Can anyone see what the problem is here?
The error message is familiar to those with experience in C++ template programming. Ignore the sizeof part; the clue is in boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<false>. That type shouldn't be instantiated, you want boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE<true>. But what exact expression is used as the template argument?
Your template instantiation error should have an instantiation stack, which leads from your code to the failure. Presumably it's checking
