I also noticed that test() declarations are in type_rebind_mode but appear to be unused - the patch also removes those. </p> <p> Sadly I don't have an Oracle support contract so probably can't do much about reporting the compiler problem at the moment. </p> <p> Regards </p> <p> Luke Elliott. </p> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7033 Trac 1.4.3 lukester_null@… Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:01:34 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7033 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7033 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">memory_util.patch</span> </li> </ul> Ticket Ion Gaztañaga Thu, 12 Jul 2012 07:48:13 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7033#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/7033#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> Thanks for the report. I don't have access to Sun compiler and I'm afraid is not standard conforming enough in many cases.
