Milestone:  To Be Determined                     |     Status:  new
  Version:  Boost 1.55.0                         |  Component:

  template                                       |   Severity:  Problem
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 When compiling program_options/src/parsers.cpp for sun/release/stdlib-sun-
 stlport/threading-multi Sun Studio 11 C++ 5.8, the compiler issues the
 following errors:

  "libs/program_options/src/parsers.cpp", line 162: Error: Could not find a
 match for
 boost::program_options::parse_config_file<boost::program_options::charT>(const
 char*, const boost::program_options::options_description&, bool).
  "libs/program_options/src/parsers.cpp", line 169: Error: Could not find a
 match for
 boost::program_options::parse_config_file<boost::program_options::charT>(const
 char*, const boost::program_options::options_description&, bool).

 The attached patch solves the problem by expliciting the template
 parameter for parse_config_file. I guess this is a bug in the compiler
 rather than in boost, but it seems to me that the suggested patch is still
 correct C++. Since this is the only issue that would inhibit use of
 program_options on my platform, for me it would be very useful to
 integrate the patch into the library.
