interlocked.hpp won't compile

[blandwa <blandw@…>]

Suddenly and for no discernible reason, merely including any (I assume) boost header file produces the compiler errors below. I was including only boost/math/distributions/binomial.hpp when the problem arose. I tested #include<boost/signal.hpp> alone as well, producing the same errors. Nothing in my own code changed (backup copies that compiled when they were saved won't compile now). I tried rerunning the boostpro installer, but it had no effect. I'm using Visual Studio 2008.

No idea, _something_ must have changed. I can't find any similar reports anywhere on the mailing list or in the Trac, so I'm reassigning to interlocked.hpp's author.

I still have no idea what changed, but adding #define BOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H solves the problem.

Are you compiling with /clr? The only difference I see between the declarations in interlocked.hpp and <memory> is that <memory> uses clrcall when _M_CEE_PURE is defined, cdecl if not (see yvals.h:53).

(In [57958]) Fix interlocked.hpp to compile under /clr:pure. Refs #3378.

(In [58069]) Merge [57958] to release. Fixes #3378.
