[Boost-users] Bug report in date_time, 1.33.0, not fixed in CVS

From: Eric Teutsch (eteutsch_at_[hidden])

Boost::date_time uses FILETIME internally to get subsecond time resolution
timestamps. When using date_time in a managed C++ environment, the compiler
(VC7.1) can't differentiate between the windows global FILETIME, and the
.NET System::Runtime::InteropServices::FILETIME, and therefore throws an
error.  If the boost header file microsec_time_clock.hpp (in
boost/date_time) changes the types FILETIME to the global namespace
::FILETIME, then the naming collision goes away.  This has only been tested
in a limited arena, but I believe it should not affect other areas).

Thank you

Eric T.
