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

Mikko,

You could try using boost::uint8_t;

This is what I wanted to avoid. looking at the issue further, it seems that solaris doesn't have the <stdint> C++ include, only the C include, and thus these definitions are incolded from there, into the global namespace. as a solution, could put the contents of the C include into the std namespace explicitly, to increase C++ compliance - as the C includ would be unaware of namespaces anyway. another workaround is to specify using boost::uint8_t; before usage.
