Have you reached to run the regression test after applying your patch?

Yes, of course, I will apply a patch that works for you. The patch needs however to be applied conditionally to some define your compiler defines specifically. Something like

#ifndef __TI__

  template< typename T1, T1 n1, bool n1_is_0, typename T2, T2 n2, bool 
n2_is_0 >
#else
  template< typename T1, intmax_t n1, bool n1_is_0, typename T2, 
intmax_t n2, bool n2_is_0 >
#endif

and some documentation talking about the limitation should be added as well.

Please could you add a Trac ticket?

Best,
Vicente
