3678,Build failure on SPARC64 architecture,churanov.port.maintainer@…,Peter Dimov,"Boost 1.40.0 fail to build on SPARC64 machines.

The issue arises when code of smart_ptr is assembled. The ""boost/smart_ptr/detail/sp_counted_base_gcc_sparc.hpp"" file contains SPARC-specific assembly for atomic compare-and-swap implementation and assembler rejects the code generated by the compiler out of that function. The generated code contains a ""cas"" instruction where first operand is a memory reference with complex addressing (register and offset). According to the SPARC v9 manual only register containing stored address may go there.

The patch for the issue was created, but a single test in ""libs/smart_ptr/test"" fails.

The patch is at http://alexanderchuranov.com/boost-port/boost-1.41-sparc64/patch-boost_smart_ptr_detail_sp_counted_base_gcc_sparc.hpp [[BR]]
