The source code for Boost 1.33.0 is now frozen. Please do not check in any changes to the Boost source code without my explicit permission. You may still update parts of Boost that do not affect the regression tests in any way, until we have our final freeze of the entire tree at 11PM EST on Wednesday.
Hi Dough, Coincidentally HP released a field-test (beta) version of the new Tru64 cxx compiler two days ago. The new compiler is based on EDG 304. Diagnostics from this front-end made it clear to us that a GCC-specific workaround in one of the Boost.Python tests should be universal. See the tiny patch below. Clearly this patch is not super critical since it is only for a test file, but assuming a time span of 6-12 months before the next Boost release, the problem may upset a fair number of people testing with new compilers. To eliminate this possibility, could we still check in the patch? Thanks!
