     Type:  Bugs                               |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined                   |  Component:  interprocess
  Version:  Boost 1.55.0                       |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                                     |
-----------------------------------------------+--------------------------
 The error that pops up in some of the interprocess tests is the following:

 ../boost/interprocess/detail/os_thread_functions.hpp:289:9: error:
 expected unqualified-id before numeric constant
     long hz =::sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK); // ticks per sec
          ^
 In file included from
 ../boost/interprocess/detail/managed_open_or_create_impl.hpp:15:0,
                  from ../boost/interprocess/managed_shared_memory.hpp:22,
                  from
 ../libs/interprocess/test/cached_node_allocator_test.cpp:12:
 ../boost/interprocess/detail/os_thread_functions.hpp:291:10: error: lvalue
 required as left operand of assignment
        hz = 100;
           ^
 Having a variable named hz conflicts with the definition of an AIX system
 variable that is in scope with this file. If I undefine the variable hz,
 hz can be safely defined without any confusion to the compiler.
