Cannot compile with recent boost (clang/gcc)

[mpoquet]

Hello,

I would like to improve the logs of some of my projects and blackhole looks like a very sexy candidate.

Unfortunately, I was not able to compile it on my machine, regardless of the branches and compiler combinations I tried :(. Is something wrong in the way I try to build blackhole?

Build script

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -eux

rm -rf ./build
mkdir ./build && cd ./build
cmake ..
make

Versions

• Boost 1.67.0-7
• gcc 8.2.0-2
• clang 6.0.1-2

Build logs

master-gcc.log: Looks like boost's API broke =/
master-clang.log: Looks like blackhole's code is not clang-compatible
develop-gcc.log, develop-clang.log: Both compilers have trouble around CHAR_WIDTH = 1;

Hi!
Seems there is nothing wrong, just compilers and boost because backward incompatible :)

master-clang.log seems easy to fix, however, I currently have no c++ environment configured, so it takes time.

With boost I don't see a way how to fix it except the backward-compatibility can be activated somehow.

I created PR #189 with a fix for this issue.
