This version uses BOOST_WORKAROUND. Please, have a look. Tested on sun c++ 5.9 and gcc4.3.3.
Thanks. I've merged this patch to trunk after making a few small edits myself, and I've given you credit for the port.
We have a very interesting problem with the Sun compiler. I see from the regression reports that the mpl::string test is passing now with sun-5.9 on SunOS, but it's failing on Linux. The nature of the failure there is fascinating, and reveals our first true portability problem with multichar literals. Look at the error: assertion_failed<mpl_::C>(mpl_::failed************boost::is_same< boost::mpl::string<24930, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0>, boost::mpl::string<25185, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0>>::************) 24930 is 0x6162 or 'ab' and 25185 is 0x6261 or 'ba'. The first test that is failing is a push_back of 'b' into a string that contains 'a'. This looks like an endian problem. I'm not sure how to proceed. I have no hope of fixing this without access to the failing platform. Anyone care to submit a patch? -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
