A unique_ptr problem with clang on MinGW

A patch has been submitted by Jonathan Wakely on 06/15 and this should be fixed on trunk.

The following:

#include
int main() {
 using namespace std;
 unique_ptr up( new int( 30 ) );
}

generates:

$ clang++ -std=c++11 -Wall foo.cpp -o foo

I am using clang 3.2 version:

clang version 3.2 (trunk 157115) (llvm/trunk 157155)
Target: i686-pc-mingw32
Thread model: posix

This wasn’t reproducible on the gcc versions I use, namely 4.6.2 and 4.7.0. Richard Smith was kind enough to investigate and found this was an issue with a SFINAE failure in libstdc++. (Richard has filed a bug against this!)

The workaround seems to be patching the appropriate header (ext/concurrence.h:273) yourself. There are two approaches:

• Richard’s suggestion:

                       static typename __enable_if<(bool)sizeof(&_Rm::sema), void>::__type
               

• If you don’t prefer casts:

                       static typename __enable_if::__type
