[boost] Re: program_options problem on platforms with incomplete wchar_t

Hi Harri,

Looking at program_options headers, it does not appear to guard against BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING being defined?

Hmm... there's a lot of #ifdef BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING in the current CVS version. Do you use that version?

This poses a problem when using gcc on platforms such as Solaris, HP-UX, as functions like std::codecvt<wchar_t, char, __mbstate_t>::do_length(...) are not defined in the libstdc++.

Is this a know problem, should I come up with a patch, or what?

If you're using CVS version, and run into a problem which proper #ifdef will fix, I'd appreciate if you send a patch. I have no access to Solaris or HP-UX, so I have to rely on user's help. Thanks, Volodya
