boost::thread fails to compile with the sun CC compiler

[Frank Meerkötter <frank@…>]

I can't compile the thread library on solaris using the sun compiler.

Frank,

Is this still an issue in boost 1.42.0? I seem to able to compile boost::thread with SunStudio 12.

It was fixed in the current trunk a few weeks ago. As far as i know the fix is not contained in the recent 1.43 release.
