I’m attempting to integrate yaml-cpp into a project, but I’m seeing some unexpected errors out of GCC. For example:
g++ -c -ggdb3 -ansi -Wall -Werror -pedantic-errors src/commands-tz.cpp -o obj/commands-tz.o

My platform is Fedora (2.6.32 kernel), GCC 4.4.1, and yaml-cpp 0.2.5. There are many, many other errors. To the naked eye, this seems like a problem within yaml-cpp, but experience tells me I’m probably the one at fault. Any ideas?
UPDATE
The file traits.h contains the following:
namespace YAML
{
template <typename>
struct is_numeric { enum { value = false }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <char> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <unsigned char> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <int> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <unsigned int> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <long int> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <unsigned long int> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <short int> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <unsigned short int> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <long long> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <unsigned long long> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <float> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <double> { enum { value = true }; };
template <> struct is_numeric <long double> { enum { value = true }; };
template <bool, class T = void>
struct enable_if_c {
typedef T type;
};
template <class T>
struct enable_if_c<false, T> {};
template <class Cond, class T = void>
struct enable_if : public enable_if_c<Cond::value, T> {};
template <bool, class T = void>
struct disable_if_c {
typedef T type;
};
template <class T>
struct disable_if_c<true, T> {};
template <class Cond, class T = void>
struct disable_if : public disable_if_c<Cond::value, T> {};
}
And nodeutil.h contains:
namespace YAML
{
template <typename T, typename U>
struct is_same_type {
enum { value = false };
};
template <typename T>
struct is_same_type<T, T> {
enum { value = true };
};
template <typename T, bool check>
struct is_index_type_with_check {
enum { value = false };
};
template <> struct is_index_type_with_check<std::size_t, false> { enum { value = true }; };
#define MAKE_INDEX_TYPE(Type) \
template <> struct is_index_type_with_check<Type, is_same_type<Type, std::size_t>::value> { enum { value = true }; }
MAKE_INDEX_TYPE(int);
MAKE_INDEX_TYPE(unsigned);
MAKE_INDEX_TYPE(short);
MAKE_INDEX_TYPE(unsigned short);
MAKE_INDEX_TYPE(long);
MAKE_INDEX_TYPE(unsigned long);
#undef MAKE_INDEX_TYPE
template <typename T>
struct is_index_type: public is_index_type_with_check<T, false> {};
// messing around with template stuff to get the right overload for operator [] for a sequence
template <typename T, bool b>
struct _FindFromNodeAtIndex {
const Node *pRet;
_FindFromNodeAtIndex(const Node&, const T&): pRet(0) {}
};
template <typename T>
struct _FindFromNodeAtIndex<T, true> {
const Node *pRet;
_FindFromNodeAtIndex(const Node& node, const T& key): pRet(node.FindAtIndex(static_cast<std::size_t>(key))) {}
};
template <typename T>
inline const Node *FindFromNodeAtIndex(const Node& node, const T& key) {
return _FindFromNodeAtIndex<T, is_index_type<T>::value>(node, key).pRet;
}
}
You seem to be inside include hell. The traits.h file you posted contains no ‘(‘, but gcc complains about what comes before a ‘(‘. That might mean that you are including something that has a macro with the same name as something in this file. Try reordering the includes in your project and see if it make any difference.
