[black-pigeon]

Hello， When I started to work with this project， the problem shows in the picture，what could result this？ Thanks a lot!!!

When I get back to the last version, there shows no error. Maybe the latest version have some problem? Or maybe my computer environment need some changes?

What version of the boost libraries are you using?
And what distro?

I think this is related to #87. I had a similar problem on Mac (clang V12.0.0), compiling against boost 1.60.

My fix was to add the boost:placeholders namespace.

Adding 'namespace boost::placeholders' in attr_sink_impl.cc doesn't seem to work for me. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, installed gnuradio 3.7.9.1 using apt install gnuradio, and cloned the master branch of gr-iio (which is same as maint-3.7 I guess). Any ideas on how you resolved this issue?

Also boost version is 1.58.

This is the error I'm getting if I add 'using namespace boost::placeholders;':
