It seems that this problem has been around for a long time (essentially this same set of warnings occur with boost 1.33.1 when built with recent versions of gcc). I've become more sensitive to the strict aliasing issue, having been personally punched in the nose by it twice in the last six months, but hadn't realized the boost version we're using had these warnings. I will certainly be adding a local patch for our use of Boost 1.34.0 if this isn't addressed as part of the release, but given its long history this issue might reasonably be considered non-critical for the general release.
I guess I have to agree. I would, however, appreciate it very much if you'd put your patch into the SF patch tracker so it can be applied for 1.35 -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com Don't Miss BoostCon 2007! ==> http://www.boostcon.com
