Does anyone know if this issue is being handled in future versions of BOOST?

The rounding functions of BOOST math are not compatible with the MS Visual
C++ development suite. They use the rint() call from the math library, which
is not supported.

Where should I post this to alert the developers?

 

Since nobody has spoken up, I think you should post a Trac 'bug/feature'
report for Boost.Interval .

Hopefully this bring it to their attention.

(You've heard from Boost.Math developers and they are claiming 'it's not
their table'  ;-) - at least for now!

I can see that you have found out the same as I have. The rint() function is
not supported by the MSVC standard math library.

I have found several rint() implementations using google, but will it help
to put this into the version that I am limited to (1.36)? I can see that
rint() is also in the new 1.44 version "msvc_rounding_control.hpp". Is it
something I am doing wrong?

I don't think so.
