#980: boost.format vc8/win32 compilation warning
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  const_at_[hidden]  |        Type:  Patches       
   Status:  new                |   Milestone:  Boost 1.34.1  
Component:  Building Boost     |     Version:  release 1.34.0
 Severity:  Cosmetic           |    Keywords:                
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 boost/format/alt_sstream_impl.hpp, line 252 generates warning due to
 'secure'-ness of vc8 stl implementation

 original boost:
 {{{
                 if(0 < prev_size)
                     compat_traits_type::copy(newptr, oldptr, prev_size);
 }}}
 proposed change:
 {{{
                 if(0 < prev_size)
 #if defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER == 1400)
                     compat_traits_type::_Copy_s(newptr, new_size, oldptr,
 prev_size);
 #else
                     compat_traits_type::copy(newptr, oldptr, prev_size);
 #endif
 }}}

 or use BOOST_WORKAROUND macro.

 I'm aware that vc8's stl is not officially supported by boost and it's not
 a problem to patch it after each update locally, but I'd appreciate if I
 wouldn't have to.
