[Boost-users] Bug in type_traits (CVS checkout)

Hello,

I don't know if this mailing list is the best place to file a bug  
report (maybe better on the boost-developers mailing list, or on  
bugzilla if there is one) to get something fixed, but I have a problem  
with type_traits.

I am not using type_traits directly, only through use of the BGL. I got  
the following error (which was posted in a previous message related to  
the BGL, before I discovered that the error was in type_traits -  
sorry!):

I have looked in the file producing the error (multiple defines). It  
doesn't include a header guard, but the file specifically says that  
this is intentional. Thus, I am not qualified enough to get a quick fix  
for my situation, and this is a problem since I really need the CVS  
version of Boost for my project...

I tried replacing the whole type_traits directory from CVS with the one  
from Boost 1.32 (because i hadn't any problems with typetraits and  
Boost Graph Library until today, when I replaced 1.32 with CVS) , but I  
then get tons of compiler errors when compiling my project so obviously  
it isn't a good idea.
