Hi all,
Following code does not compile with sunstudio11 (Sun C++ 5.8 2005/10/13) although it should IMHO:
#include <locale>
int main()
{
std::locale lc("") ;
std::use_facet< std::numpunct<char> >(lc) ;
return 0 ;
}
Is this a bug?
Sun C++ contains two c++ std library implementations: libCstd and stlport. The first one is an old implementation. We recommend to use it if you need backward compatibility only. The stlport is closer to the c++ standard.
Have you read my blog http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/sga dedicated to Boost and Sun C++? It contains patch for Boost 1.32. So if you do not need the latest version of Boost filesystem library you could try it.
Yes, I actually found out about your blog on the boost-ml some time ago. Good job you are doing there!
It's a pitty you are not working on the CVS HEAD. If you contribute patches to 1.32 you will also have to submit them to the CVS HEAD to make sure they will be included in the next release.
On the standard libraries: I suppose they are not compatible?
There is no need to file an RFE. We are already working on the latest BOOST, and are working to get ahead of the curve so that BOOST additions are tested using Sun Studio before going back into the source base.
See Simon's Blog at

for a running commentary on BOOST support.
