#2935 closed Bugs (fixed)

_MSC_FULL_VER has only 8 digits on some recent version of MSVC

Description

Some recent version of Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler still has only 8 digits for _MSC_FULL_VER. In this case, intrinsics compiler are not activated and some traits (like is_pod) are broken.

To fix it, I suggest to introduce the macro BOOST_MSVC_FULL. Its value is normalized. The code is inspired from ​http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?BoostConfig (search for _MSC_FULL_VER)

The patch include change for all librairies, but I tested it only on type_traits library. If such patch is not possible, I would suggest to, at least, fix the way intrinsics are activated on Visual C++.

Thanks

(In [55429]) Fixes #2935. Add new config macro BOOST_MSVC_FULL_VER, and updated type_traits to make use of it.
