Thank you for your patience. The function memcmp is defined in <cstring>, which was simply not included. I don’t know why I never got this error (I’ve tested on SuSE 13.1, Ubuntu 13.10, Fedora, Mac OS, MinGW @ Win7). Btw, you don’t have to pass both GCC and Clang to the configure script. I would recommend using the compiler you’ve used to build the Boost libraries to avoid running into ABI incompatibilities.
I have added the missing include in the master branch and fixed the mismatched-tags warnings as well. Hope that fixes your issues. Oh, and don’t be surprised that almost each file has changed if you’re running git pull: the license has been changed from LGPL to the Boost Software License.
Best regards,
