Actually I have considered this approach as well, but I changed my mind. Because it's not the purpose of libs/utility/swap/test/std_bitset.cpp to test the initialization of an std::bitset. Its purpose is to test whether boost::swap correctly swaps two different std::bitset objects: [...] How those initial_value1 and initial_value2 are actually initialized is irrelevant to the test. However, std_bitset.cpp should test whether boost::swap does the right thing, on any platform, including Microsoft Windows + VC 10.
Hope you agree. But please let me know if you still object against the workaround, which just replaces "1ul" by "1", and "2ul" by "2":
So I just committed that little modification of std_bitset.cpp to the trunk: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/60331 My idea is just to look at the regression page for a week or so, to see if it doesn't cause any other test failures. Otherwise, we have to do something else... Hope that sounds okay to you.
