[Boost-users] FW: Compilation problem with boost on SunCC (Forte 6.2 & 8)

A repost, since no answer to my previous mail.

Please find attached a small program and a the resulting compilation errors on SunCC. This occurs in iterator_facade.hpp, operator != (), calling to interator_core_access::equal. I have tracked this down to the following problem:

f(mpl::true_); f(mpl::false_);

f(is_convertible<>()); //will not work

is_convertible<> derives from mpl::bool<>, however it seems that a bug in the compiler prevents it from converting to mpl::true_/mpl::false_ in the above scenario (and in the program attached)

A workaround for this is to change it to the following:

f(mpl::true_); f(mpl::false_);

f(mpl::bool_::value>());

Presumably this will be present in other places but this is the only one our developers have hit so far.

Thanks,

Tom
