I've tended to (ab)use BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE for this in the past, but if we want a more specific macro, then what about BOOST_NO_NEW_IOSTREAMS ?

John.

Any name is fine with me, although BOOST_NO_BASIC_STREAM leaves less room for misunderstandings. BOOST_NO_TEMPLATED_(IO)STREAMS is another option.

I've added support for BOOST_NO_TEMPLATED_IOSTREAMS to Boost.Config as of revision #44689. Currently the macro is not defined for any compiler, but the tests and docs are all present.

HTH, John.

shared_ptr.hpp changed to test the new macro: [44707]. I've left the old condition (__GNUC__ < 3) intact; if/when this is added to gcc.hpp I'll remove it.
