[[Macro ][Description ]]
[[`BOOST_WORKAROUND`][
This macro is used where a compiler specific workaround is required that is not otherwise
described by one of the other Boost.Config macros. To use the macro you must first
``
#include <boost/detail/workaround.hpp>
``
usage is then:
``
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(MACRONAME, CONDITION)
// workaround code goes here...
#else
// Standard conforming code goes here...
#endif
``
where `MACRONAME` is a macro that usually describes the version number to be tested against, and `CONDITION`
is a comparison operator followed by a value. For example `BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_INTEL, <= 1010)` would
evaluate to `1` for Intel C++ 10.1 and earlier.
The macro can also be used with `BOOST_TESTED_AT` if all
current compiler versions exhibit the issue, but the issue is expected to be fixed at some later point.
For example
`BOOST_WORKAROUND(__BORLANDC__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x590))` would normally evaluate to `1` for all values
of `__BORLANDC__` /unless/ the macro `BOOST_DETECT_OUTDATED_WORKAROUNDS` is defined, in which case evaluates to
`(__BORLANDC__ <= 0x590)`.
[*Note]: the ultimate source of documentation for this macro is in [@../../../../boost/detail/workaround.hpp boost/detail/workaround.hpp].
]]
[[`BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME`][
Some compilers don't support the use of typename for dependent types in deduced
contexts. This macro expands to nothing on those compilers, and typename
