[Monotone-devel] Issue 191 - xdelta unit test fails to build due a symbol conflict with boost (monotone)

[code]

Hello,

A new issue has been created and assigned
to you:

191 - xdelta unit test fails to build due a symbol conflict with boost
Project: monotone
Status: New
Reported by: Dan Horák
Labels:
 Type:Defect
 Priority:Medium

Description:

The xdelta unit test fails to build due a symbol conflict with boost >= 1.47

The problem a conflict of L() macro defined by monotone in sanity.hh and L as a 
template parameter in boost. I was told that single upper case letters are 
usually used for classes passed as template parameters in C++ code.

from the build log:
