[Boost-users] numeric_cast_traits/cstdint: request for fix in boost 1.49

Currently HPUX/acc compiler fails in boost 1.48, because boost::int8_t was
being interpreted as a char, This causes duplicate class definition
in the file ./boost/numeric/conversion/detail/preprocessed/numeric_cast_traits.hpp
and hence many of compiled boost libs fail.

See:: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/attachment/ticket/6158/cstdint_patch.diff

The posted fix was to modify boost/cstdint.hpp:

 103c103,107
2  <   using ::int8_t;
3  ---
4  > #if defined(sun) || defined(__sun)
5  >   typedef signed char int8_t;
6  > #else
7  >   using ::int8_t;
8  > #endif

Can I request a similar fix be added for the HPUX/acc compiler in the
next boost version.

   Best regards,
Ta,
