error: missing binary operator before token "("

Question

after gcc upgrade my project fails to build due to the error:

What could it be? I've also tried latest gcc (4.8) snapshot but it didn't help.

p.s.

extra/boost 1.49.0-1 [installed]
core/gcc 4.6.3-1 (base-devel) [installed]
aurbuild/luabind 0.9.1-1 [installed]

Could you please provide minimal code around at least one of the cases for which the error is output? — Ivaylo Strandjev

@izomorphius the error isn't related to my code. I've removed luabind and downloaded latest stable release. I can't build it due to this errors in given files (from error output). — Max Frai

all these lines where you get an error are similar to #elif BOOST_PP_ITERATION_FLAGS() == 1 — Ivaylo Strandjev

I have changed the summary of your question to make it easier to find it if one searches for the error. — Ivaylo Strandjev

And if your search arrives at this page, but you got this error without boost, see here for a more general explanation of the message. — AShelly

As luabind is present as a google google project I was able to browse the code and find which lines are causing the error. They all look like:

#elif BOOST_PP_ITERATION_FLAGS() == 1

It seems others have run into this problem and I found this thread that I hope will help you.

Thanks. Maybe, you know how to fix it: #define BOOST_PP_ITERATION_PARAMS_1 (4, (0, LUABIND_MAX_ARITY, <luabind/wrapper_base.hpp>, 1)) I have never worked with this macro from BOOST.

As far as I see it the guy simply changes an elif to else if and this seems to fix the problem. Doesn't it work for you?

In wrapper_base.hpp, after adding #else and #if around line 93, you need to add an extra #endif at the end of the file.
