This is another patch for a test case, as it is the test case that exploits the Borland bug. Essentially, BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT cannot be used inside a member template on this compiler, so we need to fall back on using an enum in those cases. Updating the test case with this workaround shows that Borland can use the tested library correctly, so I would like to apply the patch to both mainline and rc_1_34_0 branch. -- AlisdairM cvs diff -u -wb -- numeric_traits_test.cpp (in directory E:\sourceforge\rc_1_34_0\boost\libs\utility\) Index: numeric_traits_test.cpp =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/boost/boost/libs/utility/numeric_traits_test.cpp,v retrieving revision 1.13 diff -u -w -b -r1.13 numeric_traits_test.cpp --- numeric_traits_test.cpp 8 Dec 2005 03:20:42 -0000 1.13 +++ numeric_traits_test.cpp 19 Nov 2006 09:37:34 -0000 @@ -86,8 +86,13 @@ template <class Number> struct values { +#if BOOST_WORKAROUND( __BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x582) ) + enum { min = 0 }; + enum { max = UCHAR_MAX }; +#else BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(Number, min = 0); BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(Number, max = UCHAR_MAX); +#endif }; }; @@ -96,8 +101,13 @@ template <class Number> struct values { +#if BOOST_WORKAROUND( __BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x582) ) + enum { min = SCHAR_MIN }; + enum { max = SCHAR_MAX }; +#else BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(Number, min = SCHAR_MIN); BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(Number, max = SCHAR_MAX); +#endif }; }; @@ -108,11 +118,17 @@ template <class Number> struct traits { +#if BOOST_WORKAROUND( __BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x582) ) + enum { is_signed = boost::detail::is_signed<Number>::value ? true : false }; + enum { min = complement_base<is_signed>::template values<Number>::min }; + enum { max = complement_base<is_signed>::template values<Number>::max }; +#else BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(bool, is_signed = boost::detail::is_signed<Number>::value); BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(Number, min = complement_base<is_signed>::template values<Number>::min); BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(Number, max = complement_base<is_signed>::template values<Number>::max); +#endif }; };
