Subject: [Boost-commit] svn:boost r86654 - in branches/release: boost boost/detail libs/conversion libs/conversion/test
From: antoshkka_at_[hidden]
Date: 2013-11-12 12:15:12
Author: apolukhin

New Revision: 86654
URL: http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/86654
Log:
Merged a big bunch of internal code changes from trunk for lexical_cast:
dropped support of antique compilers, code changed to produce a smaller binaries and simplify compiler's work, simplified and shortened the code, common with other libraries code moved to 'detail/basic_pointerbuf.hpp' (fixes #9046, fixes #9070, fixes #9271)
Added:
   branches/release/boost/detail/basic_pointerbuf.hpp   (contents, props changed)
      - copied, changed from r85523, trunk/boost/detail/basic_pointerbuf.hpp
