There are two issues having to do with VC 8 and VC 8 (and the random library) in the trac database. They are really the same thing, reported for two different versions of the compiler.
Can someone with access to Visual Studio check these patches and let me know
if
they work as advertised? I can apply it/them, if needed.
The issues are: <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1423> MSVC uniform int workaround not required for VC++ 2008 and <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1473> VC++ 2009 does not need workaround
Thanks!
I can confirm that changing the line specified in the first ticket from # if BOOST_WORKAROUND(_MSC_FULL_VER, BOOST_TESTED_AT(13102292)) && BOOST_MSVC > 1300 to # if BOOST_WORKAROUND(_MSC_FULL_VER, BOOST_TESTED_AT(13102292)) && BOOST_MSVC == 1400 allows the test to complete successfully when running "bjam -a msvc-9.0" from the libs\random\test directory., and that running the same test with msvc-8.0 still works as well.
