Public bug reported: Compiling an app (in Ubuntu 18.04 [1] with GCC 7) that uses Boost Spirit from v1.65.1 [2] results in the following compiler error:
/usr/include/boost/spirit/home/classic/phoenix/special_ops.hpp:62:48: error: ‘complex’ is not a member of ‘std’ template <typename T> struct rank<PHOENIX_STD::complex<T> > ^~~~~~~ /usr/include/boost/spirit/home/classic/phoenix/special_ops.hpp:62:48: error: ‘complex’ is not a member of ‘std’ /usr/include/boost/spirit/home/classic/phoenix/special_ops.hpp:62:57: error: template argument 1 is invalid template <typename T> struct rank<PHOENIX_STD::complex<T> > ^ /usr/include/boost/spirit/home/classic/phoenix/special_ops.hpp:62:59: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘>’ token template <typename T> struct rank<PHOENIX_STD::complex<T> > ^ Looks like this is a known Boost bug and have been fixed since[3], but Ubuntu 18.04 still has the older version with that bug in it.
