Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #4904: Comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions

I think that making this change would merely replace one warning for another. In particular, it would say "result of expression is always true" or something like that; since for any T sizeof (T) is >= 0 (or, if T is incomplete, is a compile error).

A better question is "What is this code trying to accomplish"?

status changed; resolution set

status new → closed
resolution → invalid

This code is trying to cause a warning, so it's doing exactly what it's supposed to. Look at the template instantiation backtrace to figure out why.
