Description

After an update on March 28th, the files socketappender.cpp, sockethubappender.cpp, socketoutputstream.cpp, and xmlsocketappender.cpp no longer compile. Compiling errors occur on the same section of boilerplate code:

protected:
LOG4CXX_LIST_DEF(ByteList, char); // Error occurs within the code generated from this MACRO
ByteList array;
SocketPtr socket;
