#5853: Predefined macro __ppc not checked by various boost headers

     Type:  Bugs                     |      Status:  new    
Milestone:  To Be Determined         |   Component:  None   
  Version:  Boost Development Trunk  |    Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:  powerpc ppc              |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 Various boost headers implement variant definitions and logic depending on
 the processor defined for the compilation. There are variations taking
 into account compilation on the powerpc family of processors but some of
 the headers in question do not include checking for powerpc compilation
 via presence of the !__ppc predefined macro (they check against other
 predefineds: !__ppc!__, !__powerpc!__, etc, but the !WindRiver vxworks gnu
 compiler for powerpc only defines !__ppc).

 Boost headers in question:

 boost/detail/endian.hpp[[BR]]
 boost/interprocess/detail/atomic.hpp[[BR]]
 boost/numeric/interval/hw_rounding.hpp[[BR]]
 boost/numeric/interval/detail/ppc_rounding_control.hpp

 The trunk was checked to be certain that fixes had not yet been applied.
 No other related bug reports found either.
