/************************************************
1) Working on the Boost Graph Library.

   1.a) Problems - Visual Studio  v 7.0.9466,
                 - .NET framework v 1.0.3705.

   Project: \BglFirstLook\BlgFirstLook.sln.

   With Boost 1.25.1 version, previously used for
   by me for smart_ptr and thread, attempted to use
   sample code from Boost's Graph tutorial.

   Got compiler error:
   \boost_1_25_1\boost\type_traits\cv_traits.hpp(188)
   : fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR

   Tried several workarounds, none were satisfactory.
   The problem arises in cv_traits.hpp, structs
   "is_const" and "is_volatile".  Each contains a
   member variable, "value", that is loaded at compile
   time using "BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT".

   The problem seems to be in taking the address of
   a static constant at compile time. I was able to
   see the same error when I removed "BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT"
   and "is_const_helper".

       ***********************
       Code referred to above:  cv_traits.hpp
       ***********************

       template <typename T>
       struct is_const
       {
       private:
          static T t;
       public:
	      // Line: 188 follows.
          BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(bool, value = (sizeof(detail::yes_type) == 
sizeof(detail::is_const_helper(&t))));
       };


       ***********************
       Same compiler error:
       ***********************

       template <typename T>
       struct is_const
       {
       private:
          static T t;
       public:
	      static T* tp = &t;
       };

   1.b) Repeat with Visual Studio - v 6.0, SP 5, Enterprise Edition.

   Project: \BglFirstLook\TTT.dsw.

   Saw no problems, except the usual 4786 warnings
   from the standard C++ library.

   The test program ran as expected.

   1.c) Repeat with Dinkum 3.08 library.

   Project: \BglFirstLook\TTT.dsw.

   Project fails to compile.

   The first (and typical) error:
   c:\work\dev\external\boost\boost_1_25_1\boost\concept_check.hpp(570)
      : error C2039: 'ptrdiff_t' : is not a member of 'std'
   c:\work\dev\external\boost\boost_1_25_1\boost\concept_check.hpp(572)
      : see reference to class template instantiation 
'boost::RandomAccessIteratorConcept<TT>' being compiled

   1.d) Resolution

   Use VS 6.0 when working with Boost,
   send report to Boost and MSoft.
