trying to do:

boost::detail::atomic_count c(0); std::cout << long(c) << std::endl;

with gcc 3.2.2 gives:

/usr/include/boost/detail/atomic_count_gcc.hpp: In member function `boost::detail::atomic_count::operator long int() const': /usr/include/boost/detail/atomic_count_gcc.hpp:46: invalid conversion from ` const _Atomic_word*' to `volatile _Atomic_word*'

in the following function:

operator long() const { return __exchange_and_add(&value_, 0); }

The problem can be solved by making the private member "_Atomic_word value_" mutable.

Fixed in CVS.
