Question

In trying to build boost mirror with gcc 4.7.2, I ran into this error, but oddly enough, I see this documentation.

Has ::std::has_nothrow_default_constructor been moved/changed?

ANSWER using Pubby’s Note Below

Something like this should work with gcc 4.7.2 – I will submit a patch and let the maintainer decide how best to deal with it.

template <typename T>
 struct is_default_constructible
  : std::integral_constant<
        bool,
        ::std::has_trivial_default_constructor<T>::value ||
#if __cplusplus>=201103L 
        ::std::is_nothrow_default_constructible<T>::value ||
#else
        ::std::has_nothrow_default_constructor<T>::value ||
#endif
        mirror::_class::_<T>::has_default_ctr::value>
 { };

In C++11 it was changed to std::is_nothrow_default_constructible to be more consistent with naming.
