Boost coroutine won't compile because of an ambiguous callcc call

I am trying to use coroutines in a C ++ project. However, it won't compile due to ambiguous usage callcc()

. I tried specifying the allocators in the coprocessor constructor, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

After we compiled the code to its bare essentials, I ended up reproducing the problem with something very similar to the fibonacci examples from the acceleration documentation.

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/coroutine2/all.hpp>

/*
    c++ -std=c++11 -o corofib corofib.cpp
*/

typedef boost::coroutines2::coroutine<unsigned long> coro_t;

coro_t::pull_type generator(
    [](coro_t::push_type& sink) {
        unsigned long first = 1L;
        unsigned long second = 1L;
        unsigned long answer;

        sink(first);
        sink(second);
        while(1) {
            answer = first + second;
            first = second;
            second = answer;
            sink(answer);
        };
    }
);


int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    generator();
    std::cout << generator.get() << std::endl;
    generator();
    std::cout << generator.get() << std::endl;
    generator();
    std::cout << generator.get() << std::endl;
    generator();
    std::cout << generator.get() << std::endl;
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

I use:

• Boost 1.64
• gcc version 4.9.2
• Linux delegato 3.16.0-4-amd64 # 1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1 + deb8u2 (2017-03-07) x86_64 GNU / Linux

Here are the error messages I get. I removed the "must-out" notices in an attempt to shorten this message:

I think the code basically sounds like: I just need to fix this somehow.

I could say something about how easy it is to do this in python, but it might make you laugh.
