Milestone:  To Be Determined             |   Component:  None      
  Version:  Boost 1.38.0                 |    Severity:  Problem   
 Keywords:                               |  
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
 I am using boost1.38.0 with below combination:

 - OS : HP-UX 11iv3
 - Compiler : aCC A.0.17 ( It is said to be compatible with boost1.38.0)

 I am using include boost/interprocess/sync/file_lock.hpp somewhere in my
 source that use "=" operator for assigning one file_lock object to
 another.

  ScopedShmAttacher::ScopedShmAttacher():
         shmPtr(NULL),
         lockStatus(-1),
         lockFd(0)
 {
         std::string mtxName = lockFileDir + lockFileName;
         createLockFile(mtxName);
         this->flock = boost::interprocess::file_lock(mtxName.c_str());
         this->lock();
 }


 The above piece of code fails at compilation because "=" operator which is
 overloaded in file_lock class is declared private and also not defined.

 But when I compile same code with boost1.45.0, My code compiles.

 It would be better if same functionality as of boost1.45.0 can be provided
 in boost1.38.0. I am not sure though it is feasible. I am trying for some
 hack as of now.
