[Boost-users] using uint8_t & the like on open solaris

Hi, I'm have a silly problem of trying to use the integer type definitions in boost/cstdint.hpp in the following way: #include using namespace boost; uint8_t value; on other platforms I've tried, this seems to be OK, but on OpenSolaris, with gcc 3 I get an error that uint8_t does not name a type, with gcc 4, it will say that uint8_t is ambiguous, since there's a typedef also in /usr/include/sys/int_types.h of course the above works the following way: boost::uint8_t value; but I really wanted to avoid having to specify the boost namespace all the time.
