KeyNodeCompare default constructor requirement

[stepanm-aparavi]

Hi folks,

I am trying to upgrade boost from 1.78.0 to 1.82.0. A blocking change is taking place, which breaks our compilation. KeyNodeCompare, when it is initializing for passing to iterators, stops taking a comparator of the container and becomes requiring a default constructor. It breaks what we rely on, as key_compare which we initializing the container with, is based on some complicated implementation, that must be shared among all key_compare-s within the container context.

Could you give any advise, how to solve that? Thanks

   template <class K>
   BOOST_CONTAINER_ATTRIBUTE_NODISCARD BOOST_CONTAINER_FORCEINLINE
      typename dtl::enable_if_transparent<key_compare, K, iterator>::type
         find(const K& k)
   {  return iterator(this->icont().find(k, KeyNodeCompare(key_comp())));  }

I just reverted KeyNodeCompare() to KeyNodeCompare(key_comp()) in [email protected] wherever it was possible by comparison against [email protected] (see fix-tree.patch). It compiles. I continue testing and not hitting any run-time issues so far.

Could you verify the patch, is it is possible, or advise anything else? Thanks

Thanks for the report. This is the same issue that was recently fixed:
