Hello, support for this platform has recently appeared in Boost but currently there are a number of test failures. Some of these test failures can be attributed to the fact that the regression tests are compiled without dynamic rounding mode enabled. Cxx needs an extra command line flag (-fprm d) for this. If I understand things correctly, the interval library relies on dynamic rounding to be always enabled, therefore I propose attached patch which checks this for Tru64/cxx. Note that when this patch is applied, all interval tests will fail for Tru64/cxx, but this can be fixed by modifying the test Jamfile to enable dynamic rounding for the tests. If the patch is accepted, I will fix this or provide a patch, whichever is preferred. Attached patch also changes the test for __DECCXX__ to __DECCXX, because this is the macro that the Tru64/cxx compiler defines. Also I'm wondering what the test for __digital__ is supposed to do, AFAIK there are only cxx and g++ available for this platform anyway. The same problem exists for g++ on alpha but I don't know if the presence of dynamic rounding can be checked for this compiler. Anyway, the needed flag to enable dynamic rounding is -mfp-rounding-mode=d on this compiler. I could add this to the test Jamfile, too. Note that enabling dynamic rounding doesn't clear all errors, but it would be a start and perhaps enable me or others to root out the other errors and achieve proper support of Alpha hardware in the interval library.
