[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#495204: libboost-dev: missing include of climits in boost/pending/relaxed_heap.hpp

[charles blundell]

Package: libboost-dev
Version: 1.34.1-11
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

boost/pending/relaxed_heap.hpp uses CHAR_BIT but does not include climits for its definition.
(This appears to be more gcc 4.3 fallout.)
