Our organization changed OS version and compiler (from GCC 3.2.2 to GCC 3.2.3). As part
of the move, the CM powers-that-be tightened the code requirements such that compiles
fail on any warning. As a result, our code was choking on a line in null.h where the
operator () function of class null_type was not returning a value (throws
BadNullConversion as it should). The included patch is what we used to fix the problem
in our little world.
This is against 1.7.26; we haven't updated yet. However I just checked and the patch
should work against the latest code.
Anyway, here's the diff, humbly submitted...:
