Any suggestions?

Interesting... Right timing: I am just fixing most of the current warnings I have in triSYCL but I have never seen this one...

It looks like it has been deprecated boostorg/test@09c0f0a#diff-e7cc0f556f47ba0c88e22ef6264dfd6d

So I guess you are using a very recent version of Boost on top of your vanilla Ubuntu.

Do you have some time to change the triSYCL tests accordingly?
I do not have some immediate time, but if you are ready to wait a few days...

@keryell

Yup, your guess is absolutely correct. I manually installed boost-1.72 and overwrite the system one (some MUST boost libraries come with Ubuntu 18.04.4 that are from repo)

I'd seriously love to help. It's interesting for me that, all triSYCL tests can pass on my PC (another Ubuntu 18.04.4 with x64), but NOT on my aarch64 board....

Is it possible this relates to the architecture?

Cheers
Pei

[keryell]

I think it is unrelated to the architecture.
Just that nobody tried with the latest Boost version like you.
I will have the problem anyway in 2 days when Ubuntu 20.04 is out, so I will have to fix the tests in a few days...

[keryell]

Now that #309 has landed, I hope this is fixed.
At some point we should have our CI running on ARM64.

[keryell]

That said, Ubuntu 18.04 and GCC 7 are quite old now, so at least you should try with Ubuntu 20.04.
