Using Same compiler option (C++11) all other libraries in boost able to build. These two Chrono and thread is giving similar to above error. Above error pasted is from boost thread compilation.

Command which have used to build:
./b2 install address-model=64 runtime-link=shared "cflags=-std=c++11 linkflags=-std=c++11" threading=multi toolset=sun --prefix=/export/home/ramesh/compiled_library/boost_1_81_0/ --with-chrono

Environment
Sun OS:5.10 Sparc
Compiler: Sun studio 12.5

This looks like a compiler bug. Can you upgrade to Sun Studio 12.6? If not, or if 12.6 is also unable to compile the code, you'll need to use an earlier release of Boost.

[thriveni-susheela]

Hi @pdimov , thanks for the info. We can not upgrade to Sun Studio 12.6 and we are facing same issue with 1.80.0 and older. So, my ask here is, can't we build/resolve the issue which am facing with sun studio 12.5 compiler .

[pdimov]

Looking at the list of errors, the first 20 or so of them all refer to code that has been introduced in 1.81. What are the errors you are getting with Boost 1.80?

[thriveni-susheela]

Hi @pdimov , thanks for quick reply. we are facing below error while building thread but we are able to build chrono with 1.80.0
"/opt/SUNSTUDIO_12.5/developerstudio12.5/lib/compilers/CC-gcc/include/c++/5.1.0/cxxabi.h", line 595: Error: Only one of a set of overloaded functions can be extern "C".

[pdimov]

This error comes from a header supplied with the compiler - to which I don't have access - and may be unrelated to any Boost code. Does Oracle provide support for Sun Studio 12.5? If so, they may have something to say about it.

[thriveni-susheela]

Hi @pdimov , thanks a lot. Will be there any fix for 1.81.0 issues we are encountering in future ??

[pdimov]

Unlikely. 12.5 is quite old, and we don't test Boost with any Sun compiler. I sometimes incorporate Sun-specific fixes submitted as pull requests such as this one #66 by @vahtis, but I don't have access to the compiler myself.
