     Type:  Feature Requests  |      Status:  new        
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |   Component:  config     
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0      |    Severity:  Problem    
 Keywords:                    |  
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 Please, provide config macros for intptr_t/uintptr_t presence detection.
 These typedefs are described by the C++11 standard as optional and are
 actually present on many real world platforms.

 Having those macros defined, please add the intptr_t/uintptr_t typedefs to
 boost/cstdint.hpp so that these types can be used consistently in
 libraries. For instance, Boost.Atomic could have used these macros and
 typedefs to define atomic<> typedefs described by the standard (it now
 attempts to detect the types' presence by its own means).
