Anything that uses Boost.Test is currently failing with gcc-2.95.3, see for example: http://tinyurl.com/dkreq I'm not sure if this is a lexical_cast or test lib change that's broken
things?
Google tells us that GCC 2.95 does not provide char_traits<>::eof(), hence the problem. I can confirm the attached patch solves the issue. OK to commit? A better way to macro-detect the offending platform? Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo 157c157,167 < stream.get() == std::char_traits<char_type>::eof(); ---
