Using SSE-intrinsics in VC8 causes static assert in type_with_alignment.hpp

[Andreas Brinck <andreas.brinck@…>]

When I create a class containing the SSE-intrinsic m128 in VC8 and try to serialize it with the boost serialization library the following static assert in type_with_alignment is triggered:

BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(found % Align == 0);

Align is in my case 8 and the SSE-intrinsics are aligned to 16. Including m128 in BOOST_TT_ALIGNMENT_BASE_TYPES fixes the problem:

#define BOOST_TT_ALIGNMENT_BASE_TYPES BOOST_PP_TUPLE_TO_LIST( \
        13, ( \
        char, short, int, long,  ::boost::long_long_type, float, double, long double \
        , void*, function_ptr, member_ptr, member_function_ptr, __m128))

I guess that many other compilers have their own SSE-intrinsics defined so a more generic solution would of course be desirable.

As mentioned on the list, I won't destabilise the 1.35 release by fixing this yet, but I will for 1.36 if possible.

I believe this should be fixed in SVN Trunk now with revision #43952.
