We have a very interesting problem with the Sun compiler. I see from the regression reports that the mpl::string test is passing now with sun-5.9 on SunOS, but it's failing on Linux. The nature of the failure there is fascinating, and reveals our first true portability problem with multichar literals. Look at the error: <snip>
A patch in the attachment. Verified with sun c++ 5.9 on sparc, sun c++ 5.10 on linux and gcc 4.3.3 on linux.
Awesome! The PP conditional you have is: #if defined(BOOST_LITTLE_ENDIAN) && BOOST_WORKAROUND(__SUNPRO_CC, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x590)) As this isn't a workaround for a compiler bug, I'll change this to: #if defined(BOOST_LITTLE_ENDIAN) && defined(__SUNPRO_CC) ... and commit it. A million thanks! -- Eric Niebler BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
