Bug#797917: Actually this bug makes clang not so useful

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi Danny,

>$ clang++ -std=c++98 -o options options.cpp -lboost_program_options



the fact  is that even if your code is not directly using c++11 symbols,
the underlying libraries (boost_program_options in this case) are, so you
can't mix both old and new ABI.

objdump -T /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_program_options.so |grep cxx
echo "_ZN5boost9from_utf8ERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE" |c++filt 
boost::from_utf8(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)


so yes, you can't use boost, until clang gets ported to a new c++11 ABI.

cheers,

G.
