-The header `<boost/static_assert.hpp>` supplies a single macro `BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(x)`,

+Both generate a compile time error message if the integral-constant-expression `x`

+If the C++0x `static_assert` feature is available, both macros will use it.
+For `BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(x)`, the error message will be a stringized version of `x`.

+If the C++0x `static_assert` feature is not available, `BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT_MSG(x, msg)`

 One of the aims of `BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT` is to generate readable error messages.
