12493,Compile error in boost::intrusive with Sun compiler 12.4,kilian.kilger@…,Ion Gaztañaga,"When trying to compile the unit tests in boost::container, I get compile
errors in boost/intrusive/detail/to_raw_pointer.hpp on Sun with the 12.4
Sun Studio compiler in non-C++11 mode when using the ancient STLport 4.5.

""/boost/intrusive/detail/to_raw_pointer.hpp"", line 41: Error: Variable p of type void*const is not a structure.
""/boost/container/detail/multiallocation_chain.hpp"", line 66:     Where, temwhileinst: While instantiating ""boost::intrusive::detail::to_raw_pointer<void*>(void*const&)"".
""/boost/boost/container/detail/multiallocation_chain.hpp"", line 66:     Where, teminstend: Instantiated from non-template code.

For me it seems that the Sun compiler picks the wrong overload here. Why 
is the code there not ""disambiguated"" via boost::enable_if?

The following code seems to work:

template<class Pointer>
inline typename boost::intrusive::pointer_element<Pointer>::type*
to_raw_pointer(const Pointer &p, typename boost::disable_if<boost::is_pointer<Pointer> >::type * = 0)
{ ... }

At least, the unit tests are running.

The code in this file did not change in this regards in Boost 1.61.
