Hi,

I'm using VS 2012 to compile boost 1.52.0 in an x64 project. In this situation, some implicit casts in geometry trigger compiler warnings (which we declared errors for our project), because some numeric data types that match in x86 have different widths in x64:

\boost_1_52_0\boost\geometry\io\wkt\read.hpp(514): error C4244: 'initializing' : conversion from 'unsigned __int64' to 'int', possible loss of data
int n = boost::size(points);

\boost_1_52_0\boost\geometry\algorithms\detail\overlay\follow.hpp(395): error C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'unsigned __int64' to 'int', possible loss of data
geometry::copy_segments<false>(linestring, current_segment_id, boost::size(linestring) - 1, current_piece);

Maybe it's possible to eliminate those warnings for the next boost version?
Thanks!
   Volker
