10113,[1.55] no lock-free synchronization on Solaris 10 sparcv9 (sp_counted_base.hpp),anonymous,timblechmann,"I wonder, why lock-free synchronization is not in use on solaris 10 (sparcv9).

E.g. check with http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/lockfree/examples.html

When i build boost 1.55 with gcc-4.7.2, then i get for 
> ./b2
[...]
  - lockfree boost::atomic_flag : no  

But there seems to be some support for cas32 (e.g.) in ./include/boost/smart_ptr/detail/...

But in ./include/boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base.hpp there is in the sequence of #if...#elif...#else...#endif is:

{{{
[...]
#elif defined( __GNUC__ ) && ( defined( __mips__ ) || defined( _mips ) ) && !defined(__PATHSCALE__)
# include <boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base_gcc_mips.hpp>

#elif defined( BOOST_SP_HAS_SYNC )
# include <boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base_sync.hpp>

#elif defined(__GNUC__) && ( defined( __sparcv9 ) || ( defined( __sparcv8 ) && ( __GNUC__ * 100 + __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 402 ) ) )
# include <boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base_gcc_sparc.hpp>
[...]
}}}

I.e. BOOST_SP_HAS_SYNC is preferred.

Is this correct?

- many thanks!

best regards,
