I am seeing several test failures for Oracle Solaris Studio runs on 
develop branch as follows:
http://www.boost.org/development/tests/develop/developer/output/oracle-sparc-S2-stlport4-boost-bin-v2-libs-type_traits-test-common_type_2_test-test-sun-stlport4-release-threading-multi.html

"CC" -compat=5 -library=stlport4 -xO4 -mt -erroff=%none -errwarn -m32 -KPIC -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DNDEBUG -I".." -I"../libs/type_traits/test/libs/tt2/light/include" -c -o "/export/home/sstrunk-tester/boost_regression/boost_sparc-S2_stlport4/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/type_traits/test/common_type_2_test.test/sun-stlport4/release/threading-multi/common_type_2_test.o" "../libs/type_traits/test/common_type_2_test.cpp"

"../boost/type_traits/common_type.hpp", line 116: Error: detail_type_traits_common_type is not defined.
"../boost/type_traits/common_type.hpp", line 116: Error: A declaration does not specify a tag or an identifier.
"../boost/type_traits/common_type.hpp", line 116: Error: Use ";" to terminate declarations.
"../boost/type_traits/common_type.hpp", line 116: Error: "}" expected instead of"<".

In  boost/type_traits/common_type.hpp , lines #15- #17,
15 #if defined(__SUNPRO_CC) && !defined(BOOST_COMMON_TYPE_DONT_USE_TYPEOF)
16 #  define BOOST_COMMON_TYPE_DONT_USE_TYPEOF
17 #endif

However, __typeof__ is supported and this file needs to be modified to 
reflect that.

Thanks,

Aparna
