     Type:  Bugs                     |      Status:  new       
Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0             |   Component:  iostreams 
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk  |    Severity:  Regression
 Keywords:                           |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 Currently iostreams has a number of failures on POSIX systems because of
 the use of the non-existent function futimes().

 futimes() conforms to 4.2BSD and is unknown to POSIX, which only has
 utime() to set file access and modification times. Unfortunately utime()
 works in term of path names and not file descriptors, and I'm not aware of
 any suitable replacement, so perhaps the interface for the functionality
 in question needs to be changed.
