component dynamic_bitset → config

That's because of some "clever" changes done in detail/workaround.hpp.

If the argument has to be a single token then that should be documented (though the parameter name seems a hint in that regard). Anyhow, as far as dynamic_bitset is concerned, I'll get simply rid of BOOST_WORKAROUND(). Please, do not apply the attached patch because it is completely broken.

I've also changed the Component property to 'config', which is the closest thing I could find (and is maintained by the person who did the changes in detail/workaround.hpp).

Gennaro,

I'm closing this down, because there are no changes we can actually make inside BOOST_WORKAROUND that would fix this. The 'clever' changes you mention were actually discussed at some length on the developer list and were chosen to make the best of a bad job (without them you get even more spurious warnings from gcc).

Please file a new issue if there's a general issue with BOOST_WORAROUND.

Thanks, John Maddock.
