Cause

Compiler: Borland BCC32.EXE version 6.0.10.157

Project type: VCL

The compiler takes you to shared_ptr.hpp, to the BOOST_ASSERT:


T * operator-> () const // never throws

{

  BOOST_ASSERT(px != 0);

  return px;

}

I still do not understand why it occurs (as on top of the header file boost/assert.hpp is #included).

This error started to occur when I split a multi-unit project over multiple folders, in which I had defined by own assert.h (instead of Assert.hpp) and use assert (instead of Assert).

Solution

Move the 'Auto-Create Forms' to 'Available' (Choose 'Project | Options | Forms')
Now compiling should be successful
Move the 'Available' Forms back

Why this works? I don't know.

Alternative possible solution

remove all files from the project
remove all project directories (i.e. the multiple paths for the project)
rename your own assert.h to Assert.hpp, use Assert instead of assert
add the removed files to the project again

(C++) shared_ptr.hpp: call to undefined function 'assert'
