Hi all,

I'm interested in getting boost::shared_ptr to use atomic ops on
Solaris.  I notice there is an implementation using the OS-provided
atomics in boost/detail/sp_counted_base_solaris.hpp, but it doesn't 
seem to be included.  According to this thread:
http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/07/107144.php, it seems 
the reason might be that it wasn't possible to come up with a proper 
preprocessor condition to include it on the right versions of Solaris.

I'm considering modifying my boost installation to include this header
on Solaris - does anyone know of any issues with the code, or can they
confirm that it has been well tested?  Are there any other reasons for 
its omission?

Thanks,

Graham
