Boost and Sun Studio 12
The latest released version of Boost 1.34.1 can be compiled under 32-bit mode by Sun Studio 12 from scratch without necessity to apply any additional patches.
If you want to use Boost 1.34.1 under 64-bit mode you still have to apply a small fix to Boost build script.
Upcoming Boost 1.35 can be compiled by Sun Studio 12 under both 32/64-bit mode without any patches.
bjam toolset=sun stdlib=sun-stlport stage # 32-bit mode bjam toolset=sun stdlib=sun-stlport address-model=64 stage # 64-bit mode
As for advantages over Studio 11 and/or gcc:
- Sun Studio 12 has a better back-end than Sun Studio 11 and g++ so customers gain performance improvement.
- Sun Studio 12 better conforms to C++ standard than Sun Studio 11.

I have tried to compile 1.34.1 under SunStudio 12 and am getting errors, such as, "libs/python/src/object/class.cpp", line 458: Error: Overloading ambiguity between "boost::python::api::getattr<boost::python::scope, char[11], boost::python::str>(const boost::python::scope&, const char(&)[11], const boost::python::str&)" and "boost::python::api::getattr(const boost::python::api::object&, const char*, const boost::python::api::object&)".

Are these errors normal, for which I need to fix?
Thanks,
