Hi all,

I have the following compilation issues on master and develop, failing the VS2008, VS2012, VS2013 builds for boost.test (VS2015 ok):

Looks like the compiler doesn't recognize alternative spelling of boolean operators (`and` in this case), which should be keywords. The workaround is simple: replace it with the primary spelling `&&`.

This code looks correct to me. I can only guess what the compiler is complaining about. Maybe it thinks the operator `<` is an opening angle brace for template parameters. Can you try wrapping `boost::alignment_of<T>::value` and `boost::alignment_of<U>::value` in parenthesis? In any case, I think both these issues should be reported to MS Connect.

This should be fixed now.
