Hi,

i am trying to use Boost library on my ESP32 and get this error on Boost files when issuing 'make' :

 .... error: cannot use typeid with -fno-rtti

With this command on the terminal :

Code: Select all

user@ubuntu:~$  xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc-5.2.0 -v

I can see configured with

Code: Select all

.... --enable-cxx-flags='-fno-rtti ....

Can i remove this flag when issuing 'make' on my code to remove this error with Boost? If so how can i do it?
Or is it bad to do so ?

I am using Boost 1.53

Regards,
ogensyts

Hi,

I have no experience with the boost libraries, but had the same isue with a dynamic_cast<>(). I solved it by adding the following line to the component.mk file:

Code: Select all

CXXFLAGS += -frtti

Hope this helps.

Paul.

Can we use boost on ESP33. Does all boost libraries work on Esp32. Does it fit under 1MB Flash?

To answer your question snahmad75, no you cannot. To give one example, Boost uses a different threading system which is not compatible with ESP32's FreeRTOS. The project will not compile.

It's definitely not the same as boost, but I been working on 'estd' library, providing bits and pieces of std lib functionality and works on embedded targets.
