Using the Intel compiler version 10 on Linux, I get a static assertion
failure in save_enum() line 65 in
boost/mpi/detail/mpi_datatype_oarchive.hpp when trying to compile
ring_test. However, when I use a different method of checking the
equality of the two sides of the comparison, it works just fine. Is
MPL_STATIC_ASSERT broken on that platform? Can anyone else with more
experience find out what is going on there? Thank you.
