But answer came there none.
Is it related to this change?
https://github.com/boostorg/asio/commit/42e7869f411a75512fb6994c634eb086f...
I change the definition of std::allocator<void> to make that work
again, so it will be fixed anyway when Fedora gets GCC 6.3 (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/PR78052 for the changes).
I can certainly backport that change to the version of Boost in
Fedora, if someone confirms that I've found the right problem
(although boost::allocate_shared is also affected, so waiting for the
new GCC to land is a better solution).
But again, if nobody reports the problem then nothing gets fixed. This
should not be surprising to anybody.
