I've noticed that the philosophy of boost as it concerns long long is:
if the type exists then use it. Since it is a non standard feature
shouldn't it be used only if requested by the user (e.g. with a macro
from the command line:

   -DBOOST_ENABLE_LONG_LONG

)?. I ask this because in --pedantic mode gcc emits a lot of warnings
in boost headers even if the client code doesn't use long long. Now,
for gcc the problem is easily solved because it has

   -Wno-long-long

but is there a similar solution for other compilers?


Genny.
