[Live-devel] Breaking change

[Nikolai Vorontsov]

Hi Ross,
 
may be the easiest solution for such issue is to wrap all Live555
functionality in a namespace? And place "using namespace Live555;"
somewhere in it's header. 
Then people that uses boost (or any other library that clashes with your
lib by internal names/types) should not have a problem...
 
Nikolai

Subject: [Live-devel] Breaking change



 

I am updating live555 from 2012.2.29 to 2013.03.07 and found a change in
Boolean.hh that breaks my build. From reading the changelog, I think
this is recent.

 

The line 

    " #define Boolean bool "

 

Overwrites a class name in boost  (move.cpp)  where there is a class
with the name Boolean

 

In the past I have had this collide with libavcodec. So I end up
modifying this file every time I upgrade. 

Is the problem  a tough one to fix for live555?  too many years of too
many people doing their own thing. (amazing for only two states how many
conflicting definitions there are)

 

Is there a long term solution? Take it out of preprocessing with a
typedef? Or *cough* rework live555 to have it's own bool type and one
header to map that to all the platforms?

 

I just remove the second part of the condition so it disables the first
case (lines 20-22), But I have not used Borland for years.
