Chris Jefferson spotted a problem with messages_base::catalog while getting libc++ to work on boost. The standard says this type must be an int. But this type is the key returned by the OS facility catopen. On OS X the type returned by catopen is void*, which doesn't fit into an int on 64 bit platforms. Chris suggested using ptrdiff_t instead of void*. It still isn't compliant with the standard, but chances are that this change will fix what is ailing boost. Chris also supplied the algorithm for distinguishing high-order pointers from error conditions. Thanks Chris. llvm-svn: 126462
