 In many places of the Boost meets this line: "std::sprintf();".
 In my case, one of these lines in the file
 boost/interprocess/detail/win32_api.hpp causes a compilation error in
 mingw:

 This compilation error disappears if you remove the prefix "std::".
 The code contains the string "std::sprintf" enclosed in #ifdef:
 {{{
 #ifdef BOOST_INTERPROCESS_BOOTSTAMP_IS_LASTBOOTUPTIME
 .
 .
 #else
 .
 .
 std::sprintf(&stamp_str[0], "%u", ((unsigned
 int)pTypedRecord->TimeGenerated));
 .
 .
 #endif
 }}}
 BOOST_INTERPROCESS BOOTSTAMP_IS_ LASTBOOTUPTIME not defined in mingw.
