Description
When compiling program_options/src/parsers.cpp for sun/release/stdlib-sun-stlport/threading-multi Sun Studio 11 C++ 5.8, the compiler issues the following errors:
"libs/program_options/src/parsers.cpp", line 162: Error: Could not find a match for boost::program_options::parse_config_file<boost::program_options::charT>(const char*, const boost::program_options::options_description&, bool). "libs/program_options/src/parsers.cpp", line 169: Error: Could not find a match for boost::program_options::parse_config_file<boost::program_options::charT>(const char*, const boost::program_options::options_description&, bool).
The attached patch solves the problem by expliciting the template parameter for parse_config_file. I guess this is a bug in the compiler rather than in boost, but it seems to me that the suggested patch is still correct C++. Since this is the only issue that would inhibit use of program_options on my platform, for me it would be very useful to integrate the patch into the library.
