Can`t compile boost spirit example4.cpp


I am continuing to learn the Boost Spirit library and I have some issue with example that I couldn`t compile. The source of example you can find here: source place. Also you can look at this code and compile result on Coliru.

    std::cout << "Bye... :-) \n\n";
    return 0;
}

When I try to compile it I receive a lot of errors, see full list on Coliru.

What wrong with this example? What and why need be changed to compile it? How identify what exactly fails compilation process?


Solution

  • As Fsmv said, the following define should be added:

    #define BOOST_VARIANT_USE_RELAXED_GET_BY_DEFAULT
    

    After that, the example could be compiled.
