Pugixml 1.5 failes to compile on Win7 x64 MinGW 4.7.1 with -std=c++11 about pugixml HOT 7 CLOSED

Aaaargh :( This is probably a regression from b7a1fec. I think I tested that CL on MinGW 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.8 and set the threshold for the comparison to 4.5 based on the test results but maybe 4.7 is different... or my compilation flags during testing were incorrect.

I'll retest and implement a workaround.

I can confirm - when rolled back changes of that commit the problem seems to disappear

When using MinGW 4.7.1 from this source: http://hivelocity.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mingwbuilds/host-windows/releases/4.7.1/32-bit/threads-win32/dwarf/x32-4.7.1-release-win32-dwarf-rev0.7z

With this command-line:
"C:\pugixml\tools\MinGW471\bin\g++.exe" -march=pentium4 -std=c++11 -w -fno-strict-aliasing -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -fexpensive-optimizations -O2 -DNDEBUG -D_WINDOWS -DUNICODE -D_UNICODE -c pugixml.cpp

The compilation succeeds. The tests also pass.

Where did you get your build of MinGW 4.7.1?

It's part of Code Blocks (exact filename is codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup.exe) downloaded from this website

Thanks; I can now reproduce the problem. The behavior seems to be different for TDM-GCC builds - I believe I was testing on MinGW-w64 builds before. My guess is that TDM-GCC bundles different versions of standard headers since the headers are apparently in a package that's versioned separately from GCC itself. The only TDM-GCC version that works is 4.9.2... 4.8.1 and below, including 4.7.1, don't work (up until 4.5.2 where the version check in pugixml kicks in).

I'll try to find a more robust detection method.

Ah, ok. The TDM-GCC version does not actually matter :) All 32-bit TDM-GCC distributions don't work; all 64-bit TDM-GCC distributions (starting with 4.5 at least) do work without any version checks. That explains why I tricked myself into setting a 4.5 limit - my test suite happens to have 32-bit 4.5 and 64-bit 4.6. There's still the question of why the hell these functions are absent in C++11 mode in TDM-GCC 32bit...

Note: the fix was reuploaded as v1.5.

Since the issue is contained to just MinGW 32 in C++11 mode and I also discovered a small packaging error (the documentation files were slightly different from the Git version) reuploading a fixed 1.5 was preferable to creating a new patch version.
