Bug 945916 – <dev-libs/boost-1.88.0 typo in member data that breaks compilation when used

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description David Carlos Manuelda 2024-12-05 14:54:30 UTC]

On boost/thread/future.hpp line 4671 there is a typo (it is written that instead of that_) that will it fail to compile when used.

Since this is a header the package itself will not fail but others using it will (in my case poedit)

I attach a patch fixing it but I don't know how to send it to upstream (or check if they already fixed it)

Reproducible: Always
