Comment (by sven.prevrhal@…):

 John - At this point, I am using MSVC 9.0 on Win 7 64-bit, compiling for
 64-bit with CUDA 3.2 using nvcc with the -m64 switch.

 Getting this to work has failed, at least for me. If I switch in
 basic_cstring
 {{{
 #if !BOOST_WORKAROUND(__IBMCPP__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(600))
     enum npos_type { npos = static_cast<size_type>(-1) };
 #else
     // IBM/VisualAge version 6 is not able to handle enums larger than 4
 bytes.
     // But size_type is 8 bytes in 64bit mode.
     static const size_type npos = -1 ;
 #endif
 }}}

 to the #else clause, the cuda compiler dies:

 {{{

 }}}

 I am not experienced enough to work up a patch for this. I can't even tell
 if that's a bug with nvcc (since people report boost to work with gcc, but
 have they tested boost unit testing?) or whether the boost macros are just
 wrong for the nvcc on MSVC case.
