According to http://blogs.sun.com/sga/entry/boost_mini_howto "upcoming
Boost 1.34 works with Sun C++ well out of the box" - can anyone confirm
this? I'm trying to upgrade from Boost 1.33.1 to Boost 1.34.1 on Solaris
10/SPARC but ran into problems with both CC (Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch
124863-01 2007/07/25) and g++ 3.4.6.
With "./bjam --toolset=sun stage" I see this error (among others):
sun.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/wave/build/sun/debug/threading-multi/instantiate_cpp_exprgrammar.o
"./boost/wave/util/flex_string.hpp", line 529: Error: Formal argument 2 of

With "./bjam --toolset=gcc stage" I see that error (again among others):

As the Boost Mini HOWTO mentions that Boost 1.34 should work out of the
box I wonder if I'm the only one having a problem on Solaris? As the
Getting Started document mentions that "only very recent versions are
known to work well with Boost" - is Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch
124863-01 2007/07/25 maybe not recent enough? :)
