Fix compilation with Sun CC (without stlport)

[Vadim Zeitlin <vz-boost@…>]

Apparently Sun CC with its (ancient) STL is not officially supported by Boost but I hope you can consider this patch which at least allows me to use boost/array.hpp (and, more importantly, many other headers which use it) in my code which can't be compiled with STLport.

The patch is basically trivial and simply adds a workaround similar to the existing one for MSVC just above for Sun CC:

boost/array.hpp

 #else
         // workaround for broken reverse_iterator implementations
         typedef std::reverse_iterator<iterator,T> reverse_iterator;

TIA!

P.S. The window is apparently too narrow to show the patch without mangling it, hopefully you can still read (and apply it) however using the attached file.

Does this workaround need to be replicated around line 210 as well, or does the Sun CC not support partial template specialization?

Yeah, it would need to be duplicated. Sun CC does support partial specialization.
