[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#703325: libboost1.50-dev: Compile errors when `boost/chrono/duration.hpp` and `apache2/httpd.h` are included

[Kirill Spitsin]

Package: libboost1.50-dev
Version: 1.50.0-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When trying to compile such file:

    % cat test.cpp
    #include <apache2/httpd.h>
    #include <boost/chrono/duration.hpp>
    int main() {}

I'm getting the following error:

    % gcc -lboost_system -I/usr/include/apr-1.0 1.cpp

That's probably because of `#define CR 13` in httpd.h and `typedef typename common_type<Rep1, Rep2>::type CR` in duration.hpp.

Also after

    # sed -e 's/\bCR\b/CRRRRR/' -i.orig /usr/include/boost/chrono/duration.hpp

same test.cpp can be built successufully.
