Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there's still any compiler among those generally supported by Boost which requires either BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT() or BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(). I'd like to get rid of them for DynamicBitset.

2-arg static_assert is available in C++11 and up.

If you want 1-arg static_assert in C++11 you need BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT.

For reference, I use BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT everywhere, as my libraries support C++11.

I define my own local macro and use that instead to avoid the dependency.
