RHBA-2011:1149 - boost bug fix update
Synopsis
boost bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated boost packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The boost package provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries with emphasis on libraries which work well with the C++ Standard Library.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, when several regular expression objects were created simultaneously, such as in a multi-threaded program, the construction of one of them sometimes failed. With this update, the object variables have been moved from the shared memory to the stack, thereby making the constructing function thread safe. (BZ#727895)
Users of boost are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
