#3919: Support for NVIDIA CUDA C++ Compiler
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 Reporter:  joel.falcou@…         |       Owner:  johnmaddock
     Type:  Patches               |      Status:  new        
Milestone:  Boost 1.43.0          |   Component:  config     
  Version:  Boost 1.42.0          |    Severity:  Problem    
 Keywords:  GPU NVIDIA nvcc CUDA  |  
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 Some boost component can't compile when compiled with the nvidia c++
 compiler for GPU systems. This patch add nvcc as a proper compiler in
 config/ so the proper BOOST_NO_XXX macro are set/unset. The patch also
 provide a BOOST_GPU_ENABLED macro that resolves as __host__ __device__ and
 allow any boost function to be compiled inside a CUDA kernel.

 Note that this patch is not the only one required for proper GPU support
 bu tit fixes a lot of annoying errors in low level components like MPL,
 Fusion, type_traits and similar.
