Hi,

This patch is not in 1.34-rc1. What's the preferred way to submit those
things?

Thanks,
Marc

Hi,

SunPro (tested: v11, with current patches), needs the attached patch to compile
the following code:

--code--
using boost::format;
using boost::str;

void foo( const std::string & );

format fmt( "host=%1%,port=%2%" );
const std::string host = ...;
const unsigned short port = ...;
foo( str( fmt % host % port ) );
--/code--

PS: Regarding the API: I don't much like the fact that format::operator%
changes the format instance. I would have liked to write "static const format"
in the code snippet above. Feels more natural ("do as the ints do"). I see where
the design comes from (speed optimization), but speed shouldn't dictate design.
Expression templates could be used to speed up the process.
