The error I see in this case is

../libs/vmd/test/test_variadic_macro.cxx(25): No variadic macro support: __SUNPRO_CC defined. in function '(unknown)'

Oracle Solaris Studio does support variadic macros.
In libs/preprocessor/include/boost/preprocessor/config/config.hpp
line# 73-77, seems incorrect for SUNPRO_CC and
BOOST_PP_VARIADICS should be set to 1.

73 # define BOOST_PP_VARIADICS_MSVC 0
74 # if !defined BOOST_PP_VARIADICS
75 # /* variadic support explicitly disabled for all untested compilers */
76 # if defined __GCCXML__ || defined __CUDACC__ || defined __PATHSCALE__ || defined __DMC__ || de
fined __CODEGEARC__ || defined __BORLANDC__ || defined __MWERKS__ || defined __SUNPRO_CC || defined __HP_a
CC && !defined __EDG__ || defined __MRC__ || defined __SC__ || defined __IBMCPP__ || defined __PGI
77 # define BOOST_PP_VARIADICS 0

Should I submit a PR for this change?

Thanks,

Aparna
