[Boost-users] Interval Library on MIPS

Hi,

I've been attempting to use the interval library on a
MIPS/IRIX machine without luck.  The problem is that
there is no native rounding support and we don't have
a C99 environment.  I'm getting "Please specify rounding
control mechanism" errors from the preprocessor.

The thing is, I don't need a rounding mode.  I simply
want to use intervals of type int.  I could understand
the error if I was trying to use floating-point intervals
but shouldn't I be able to specify intervals that don't
require rounding?  Or even specify intervals with a policy
that ignores rounding?

Has anyone run into this problem before?  Is there a
workaround?
