I found a problem with the intel configuration for Linux.
For that compiler the macro BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T
gets defined although the compiler has an intrinsic wchar_t.
Neither _WCHAR_T_DEFINED nor _NATIVE_WCHAR_T_DEFINED is
defined on Linux. __WCHAR_TYPE__ is defined to int. Never-
theless, wchar_t and int are distinct types.
The attached patch to intel.hpp fixes this problem for
intel 7.1 on Linux. However, I'm not sure wether the change
is acceptable in this form. I'm also not sure wether
it causes problems with version 7.0 of the compiler.
We have endless problems with this compiler: basically you can turn wchar_t
support on or off on the command line, but there is no way to detect which
option is used in code. Is wchar_t supported by default with Intel 7.1 on
linux? If yes then I guess we should change....
Yes, it seems to be the default. The online help doesn't mention
a flag to turn wchar_t support off. Since Linux' "native"
compiler (gcc) has intrinsic wchar_t, it is unlikely that
users would want to turn wchar_t support off to achieve
compatibility.
