[Patch Request] [serialization] Request a patch for fixing issues on SunOS 64bit platform

[maverickchiang@…]

[Hi,

Please consider :

1. fixing the issues (iostream error/exception,

segmentation faults , illegal instruction etc.) found when running the testsuite bundled with boost.serilation (v1.38, though I believe it applies to other revisions) on SunOS 5.8 sparc v9 (5.9, 5.10 64-bit also get the same crashes).

2. adding SunOS 64bit platform to the boost regression test trunk : http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/serialization.html

,if possible.

Thanks very much, Mave

Hi Robert,

Could you pls confirm the following question before closing this ticket ? Either

1. boost.serialization currently has no plan to support 64bit SunOS

or

2. The platform issues do nothing with boost libraries. Users should contact OS/compiler vendors for relevant supports

Thanks, Mave.

[Robert Ramey]

1. We support all conforming C++ libraries that we can.
2. We cannot track down and resolve issues particular to a specific platform without access to that platform.
3. We are happy to consider platform specific patches submitted by users who are can track down those issues.

I'm marking this as "wontfix" since there is not "can't fix" selection.
