No, I would prefer
#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__HP_aCC, <=33900) || BOOST_WORKAROUND(__VisualAge,
<=12345)
template <bool cond, typename T> struct enable_if;
#else
template <bool, typename> struct enable_if;
#endif
I already explained the reason: C++ compiler vendors use Boost with
BOOST_NO_CONFIG for conformance testing. I'd rather see broken compilers
get fixed than developers forever spending time finding workarounds.
