[cfe-dev] FreeBSD clang fails to compile code using boost::archive

[Csaba Raduly]

Compiling the following code:

#include <boost/archive/iterators/base64_from_binary.hpp>
#include <boost/archive/iterators/transform_width.hpp>
#include <boost/archive/iterators/binary_from_base64.hpp>
#include <boost/archive/iterators/transform_width.hpp>
#include <algorithm>

std::string Base64::encode(const char *begin, const char *end)
{
    unsigned int padding_chars = (3 - std::distance(begin, end) % 3) % 3;
    std::string base64 {
            boost::archive::iterators::base64_from_binary<        //
this is line 27
                    boost::archive::iterators::transform_width<
                            binary_value::const_iterator, 6, 8>>(
                    begin),
            boost::archive::iterators::base64_from_binary<
                    boost::archive::iterators::transform_width<
                            binary_value::const_iterator, 6, 8>>(
                    end)};
    base64.append(padding_chars, '=');

    return base64;
}

Results in the following error:

$ c++ -v
FreeBSD clang version 3.3 (tags/RELEASE_33/final 183502) 20130610
Target: x86_64-unknown-freebsd10.0
Thread model: posix

Boost is version 1.55 from ports

The same code is compiled successfully with g++48 version 4.8.3
20140220 (prerelease) (FreeBSD Ports Collection)

What could be the cause of the difference?
