actually, during Boost regression testing we found some problems with
its variadic macros (these appeared to be no macros at all). But it
comes very close to 100%

well, at the time auto_ptr was discussed, language did not have proper
move semantics. To stay on topic: I'm pretty certain that any library
depending on newly proposed language features (eg. move semantics and
rvalue-references, even though these are implemented only experimentaly)
will not be precluded from discussion.

. just minor correction. The problem is not with macros, but va_list
type which seems to be defined in the wrong namespace.

variadic macros are not (yet) part of C++.

I think they belong to standard header <cstdarg>, see clause 18.7 and
clauses 17.4.3.1.3 - 17.4.3.1.4 with footnotes

I thought that by "variadic macros" you meant macros with
variable-length argument lists. You're right: the C language support for
functions with variable-length argument lists comes from <stdarg.h> or
<cstdarg>.

well, obviously I do not. And the problem I mentioned  does not apply to
Dinkumware library, but compiler itself (surprise). Soon it will be gone
anyway, as new version of the compiler is on its way.
