Maybe this is fair enough as specifying /clr opens a whole new world of pain (I was just trying my luck really!), nevertheless would it be sensible to change the types from unsigned to ptrdiff_t as that's what operator[] requires?",Bugs,closed,Boost 1.52.0,thread,Boost 1.45.0,Problem,fixed,MANAGED,viboes
