visual studio compiler information appears to be out of date or innaccurate in 1.59- Visual Studio 2012 and upwards supports type traits, anything less does not. The appropriate macro defines for this should be added to visualc.hpp.

Which macro should be in config/compiler/visualc.hpp?

Right now boost/config/stdlib/dinkumware.hpp has BOOST_NO_CXX11_HDR_TYPE_TRAITS defined for Dinkumware versions 520 and lower - i.e. that macro is would not be defined for VC11 and higher.

Okay, I'm no good at understanding the sprawl of dependencies which constitute boost's macro defines, but I'll take your word for it. Why that particular C++11 macro define is in another file, while almost all the others are defined in the compiler-specific hpp, is beyond comprehension.
