[boost] Re: 1.31.0 release candidate available + release plans

There is another problem with release builds with Borland in filesystem 
(won't compile).  Original message below again.

Another, easier fix as pointed out in the actual thread, is to remove 
the std:: and put using namespace std; at the top of the file (it is a 
.cpp, not a .h), then Borland and others will find strcmp.

Thanks

Russell

Borland bcc32 (only tested on 0x564), but probably affects version 
before this and kylix (0x570) which I can't test, has a bug where when 
you do a release build, functions such as strcmp (which the compiler 
intrinsicly generates) aren't put in the std:: namespace so

std::strcmp will fail to compile on these compilers in a release build 
mode.  Works fine in debug mode.  The solution is to just call strcmp in 
a release build.  This occurs in

operations_posix_windows.cpp for filesystem at lines

234,235,271,272.

Could a work-around be provided.  I've locally changed lines at 234-235 
to be

           #if defined(__BORLANDC__) && (__BORLANDC__ <= 0x564) && 
!defined(_DEBUG)
           if ( strcmp( name, "." ) != 0
             && strcmp( name, ".." ) != 0 )
           #else
           if ( std::strcmp( name, "." ) != 0
             && std::strcmp( name, ".." ) != 0 )
           #endif

But am unsure of the work-around syntax to use this correctly.  The same 
work-around can be applied at 271-272 also.
