Hi All,

I am getting compilation errors when I try to build my application code 
which includes some boost headers using IBM XL C/C++ compiler V12.1.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"/opt/boost/include/boost/date_time/time_resolution_traits.hpp", line 
71.21: 1540-0063 (S) The text "->" is unexpected.

"date_time::time_resolution_traits" may be undeclared or ambiguous.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These errors seems come due to the fact that this version of compiler is 
claimed to have more standard conformance than its predecessors.
I confirmed from boost release notes of boost 1.50.0 that V12. of XL 
C/C++ supports this boost version. But still I encountered above errors.

Should I use an older version of XL C/C++ compiler so that such errors 
can be avoided ?
Does anybody encountered similar issues ?

I am completely stuck at this point and would greatly appreciate any 
ideas to understand and resolve this.

Thanks,
Pravar
