Can't compile with gcc 10

[JulZimmermann]

Expected Behavior

Expected to compile.

Actual Behavior

Can't compile the quick guide example (or any other application using boost::di) with the gcc 10 compiler

cc1plus: some warnings being treated as errors

Compiler returned: 1

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Use gcc 10 compiler
2. compile the example

Here is a Compiler Explorer link showing the problem: https://godbolt.org/z/xvHTfd
By switching the compiler to gcc 9.3 the code compiles just fine.

Specifications

• Version: Current Version from "Get the latest header here"
• Platform: Linux

Hmm, it seems like a GCC bug to me, it tries to eagerly instantiate create function for template<class...> which shouldn't even match the overload set and bails out on the deprecated warning

After commenting the warning it seems to work 🤔
https://godbolt.org/z/shDx7e

Needs some more digging, though 🐛

[JulZimmermann]

Any update on this? It's really sad not to be able to use GCC 10 because of this 😕

As a workaround, I defined __BOOST_DI_DEPRECATED with nothing. Are there any drawbacks to this?

[AnatoliyYakimov]

Still getting this error with Msys2 MinGW 9.3.0 (x86_64-w64-mingw32/9.3.0).
Defining __BOOST_DI_DEPRECATED as nothing helps, but this is not good solution still.

[JulZimmermann]

Meanwhile I think the problem is bigger then GCC 10 (and apparently mingw 9) support.

Undefining __BOOST_DI_DEPRECATED helped me with the error messages when forgeting to register a type.
With __BOOST_DI_DEPRECATED I always get obscure template creation error messages similar to the one in my first post. Without it, the compiler gives a straight 2 line message about the missing type.

So, I think there is a problem with __BOOST_DI_DEPRECATED in general. I will keep define it as nothing.

Should be fixed now -> https://godbolt.org/z/E7xzxE by krzysztof-jusiak@732b7d2
