Hi, The interprocess test compilation fails on solaris 9. Error is thrown for solaris atomic operations.

./boost/interprocess/detail/atomic.hpp:353: error: initializing argument 1 of `uint32_t atomic_add_32_nv(uint32_t*, int32_t)' I have checked online, it suggests that solaris 9 atomic operations are not available for user code. It can only be used by kernel. Kindly suggest what may be wrong, or any workaround for the same. Regards, DS
