errors when build with Apache stdcxx

[farid_zaripov]

I have been working on the Apache C++ Standard Library project (STDCXX):
http://incubator.apache.org/stdcxx/

I've trying to compile the boost library with stdcxx.

The details can be found here:

Boost version: 1.33.1
STDCXX version: 4.2

I've got the following errors in boost/regex/v4/regex_workaround.hpp and boost/regex/v4/fileiter.hpp:

I propose to #include <cstddef> in fileiter.hpp to define the std::ptrdiff_t.

And also I propose to change the line 131 in regex_workaround.hpp from
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC,>=1400)
to the
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC,>=1400) && defined(BOOST_DINKUMWARE_STDLIB)

Will apply to cvs head: it's too late for 1.34 though I'm afraid :-(

In addition the Apache stdcxx provide the only one wchar_t (as compiler native type or as typedef to unsigned short depending from compiler options). I think the RogueWave STL does the same, so I propose the following changes in boost/regex/config.hpp:

Patch now applied to SVN trunk: apologies for the delay.
