[Boost-users] !BOOST_WORKAROUND( __BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT( 0x564) ) causing problems on MSVC compiler

I am using boost for the first time and not much aware of whets going
on. I am including serialization archive hpps and it is including these
lines eventually somewhere inside 
 
namespace detail{
#if !BOOST_WORKAROUND( __BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT( 0x564) ) 

using namespace boost::detail;

#endif

I am using Visual Studio and MSVC compiler and this using directive is
causing me problems. There is a CRITICAL_SECTION defined in boos::detail
which conflicts with standard windows CRITICAL_SECTION.

The thing am not able to understand is how is this Workaround works ? If
this workaround checks for BORLANDC then shouldn't it just place that
code for Borland compiler? 

Please help. Is there any other macro I can define or undefine that will
get rid of this.

 

Thanks

Shanti
