MySQL Bugs: #78668: mysql-workbench can't be built by gcc with "-std=c++11"

Bug #78668	mysql-workbench can't be built by gcc with "-std=c++11"
Submitted:	1 Oct 2015 12:35	Modified:	26 Oct 2015 6:27
Reporter:	Sergey Afonin	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench	Severity:	S4 (Feature request)
Version:	6.3.4	OS:	Linux (gcc 5.2.1, libsigc++ 2.6.0)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
mysql-workbench can't be build by gcc with "-std=c++11". It is needed because libsigc++ version 2.5.1 and later require a C++11-compliant compiler:

http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/stable.shtml

The error:

mysql-workbench-community-6.3.4/library/forms/view.cpp:515:32: error: cannot convert 'boost::signals2::signal<bool()>::result_type {aka boost::optional<bool>}' to 'bool' in return
     return _signal_mouse_leave();
                                ^

How to repeat:
attempt to build with gcc 5.x with "-std=c++11" option.

After that one it will fail again on:

Hi Sergey, Arek
thank you for the bug report, 
please try the patch.

Thanks, Marcin -- your patch fixed FTBFS on Debian. Nice. :

I seems it works, thanks.

PS: btw: "forms/textbox.cpp" was already fixed in 6.3.4 tarball.

I close this FR, thanks again.
