11664	BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT raises unused typedef error with new Apple Xcode 7	Francis Dupont <fdupont@…>	John Maddock	"I've just updated by Apple Xcode (OS X compiler suite) to version 7.
g++ version returns:
{{{
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.5.0
Thread model: posix

Boost version is 1.58.0 and is installed by brew. The last stable version 1.59.0 has exactly the same code so should share the issue.

Code using BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT raises this kind of errors:
{{{

}}}

Note it is not a new issue, cf #7242. But the fix in static_assert.hpp:
{{{
//
// If the compiler warns about unused typedefs then enable this:
//
#if defined(__GNUC__) && ((__GNUC__ > 4) || ((__GNUC__ == 4) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ 
>= 7)))
#  define BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_UNUSED_ATTRIBUTE __attribute__((unused))
#else
#  define BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_UNUSED_ATTRIBUTE
#endif
}}}
requires to handle the new Apple Clang. I tried with success:
{{{
#if defined(__GNUC__) && ((__GNUC__ > 4) || ((__GNUC__ == 4) && (__GNUC_MINOR__ >= 7))) || (defined(__apple_build_version__) && (__apple_build_version__ >= 7000000))
}}}
