It is a tiny bit confusing when people use "VC++ 2008" for "VC++ 8.0," since that compiler is part of "VS 2005." The same goes for "VC++ 2009," which might make some Windows nerds think they missed the latest alpha of something ;-) For a proper isomorphism between year-based packages and compiler versions, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_C++ /David On Dec 14, 2007, at 12:03 PM, Marshall Clow wrote:

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! -- -- Marshall
