Re: [boost] [format] Compiler error when using the Sun compiler.

Steven,

I've never used stlport. How would stlport help with the SUN compilation problem I'm having? Am I missing something?

I was hoping the implementer of this library knew what the problem was right away and guided me to a quick solution.

What is AMDG?

Can you use stlport?

Can someone please assist?

This code below doesn't compile when I use the Sun compiler. My company is currently using boost 1.33.0, and I cannot do anything
about that, but I want to use boost::format. What modification can I make to the format files to fix this issue?

Thanks,

#include <boost/format.hpp>

int main( int, char ** )
{
    boost::format fmt( "test %d %d\n" ); }
