Boost.org detail module

detail's Issues

Where is `boost/detail/workaround.hpp`?

A number of files in boost/type_traits include the header boost/detail/workaround.hpp. However, there is no such file here and compilation breaks if boost/detail is included as a git submodule to some project. Curiously, the needed header file (and a few more) are available in boost-1.78.0.tar.gz and compilation goes smoothly if boost is compiled and installed first as an external library. Aren't these modules synchronised with the official releases?

Library requirements errors.

====== BEGIN OUTPUT ======
libs/detail: error: file not found; Did not find [project-root]/index.html file. The file is required for all libraries. Redirection to HTML documentation.

Sources to build with and built documentation for the library. If the library needs to build documentation from non-HTML files this location must be buildable with Boost Build.

do_length is not correctly overridden?

I have two independent builds reporting this error in Boost.Uuid, which includes this header from Boost.Serialization, which includes a header from Boost.Detail:

This same issue was identified by Coverity Scan as well.
The build job that identified it: https://travis-ci.org/jeking3/uuid/jobs/293338558

Thanks.

@robertramey it looks like you made the original module - can you take a quick look? In Coverity Scan the failure was reported against libstdc++-4.8 and here it is version 7.2.

[boost-1.63.0] Missing file: include/boost/detail/iterator.hpp

This repository (tag boost-1.63.0) is missing the following source file:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_63_0/boost/detail/iterator.hpp

This prevents compilation of
<boost/iterator/iterator_traits.hpp> (line 8)

Edit:
Nevermind, it is placed in this repository: https://github.com/boostorg/core
