 Apparently Sun CC with its (ancient) STL is not officially supported by
 Boost but I hope you can consider this patch which at least allows me to
 use boost/array.hpp (and, more importantly, many other headers which use
 it) in my code which can't be compiled with STLport.

 The patch is basically trivial and simply adds a workaround similar to the
 existing one for MSVC just above for Sun CC:

 const_reverse_iterator;
  #else
          // workaround for broken reverse_iterator implementations
          typedef std::reverse_iterator<iterator,T> reverse_iterator;
 }}}

 TIA!

 P.S. The window is apparently too narrow to show the patch without
 mangling it, hopefully you can still read (and apply it) however using the
 attached file.
