Hello all,
Sorry to bump this, but i am still unable to resolve my problem described below.
I have seen a 2008 thread on this: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20080331.203857.548691a0.ja.html
In this case it is align(8) not align(16), and the thread describes this issue as resolved. This leads me to believe there is an answer *out there* :)
Thanks for your help Simon Hi, I think this is an MSVC problem caused by the bad STL implementation, but I wondered if there was a work around. Both my client (Win32 MSVC8) and server (ubuntu GCC 4.2.3) share the same c++ code. It compiles and runs on GCC but fails on MSVC. This uses the the bullet physics library and includes a type defined like this: __declspec(align(16)) btVector3 {/*...*/}; When building my boost::python extension with: class_<btVector3>("BtVector3", init<float, float, float>()); I get an error like this : C:\boost_1_38_0\boost/python/converter/as_to_python_function.hpp(21) : error C2719: 'unnamed-parameter': formal parameter with __declspec(align('16')) won't be aligned C:\boost_1_38_0\boost/python/to_python_converter.hpp(88) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::python::converter::as_to_python_function<T,ToPython>' being compiled with [ T=btVector3, /* .... Huge call stack omitted for clarity.... */ build.cpp(155) : see reference to class template instantiation 'boost::python::class_<W>' being compiled with [ W=btVector3 ] Is there a way to overcome this? switch to MinGW? :) Thank you very much Simon _______________________________________________ Cplusplus-sig mailing list Cplusplus-sig@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig
