Public bug reported:
We have third party libraries that worked fine on Ubuntu 15.04 x86_64
using boost1.55 and gcc-4.9.2.
These libraries (we do not have access to the source, so recompiling is
not an option) rely on the old ABI for std::string
On 15.10, if we disable the CXX11 ABI, we get a linker error when
linking against boost libraries.
I am attaching sample code to reproduce the issue.
# this works fine
g++ -o main main.cc -lboost_program_options
# this does not
g++ -o main main.cc -lboost_program_options -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0
alex@wily:~$ g++ -o main main.cc -lboost_program_options
-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0
