I have had contact with Michael, from IBM, and took part in providing feedback for beta version of their latest v11.1 compiler. My number one issue was to make sure boost serialisation worked. To that end, they had devoted resources to make sure this worked. So on the whole I am happy with what they provided. There is however still a couple of outstanding issues with regards serialisation: o portable binary archive is broken
That shouldn't be too hard to fix since it's not that complex.
o release mode of the compiler, crashes
Hmmm - that doesn't seem good to me. Since the trunk tests are all run in debug builds (as far as I know) we've never seen this.
I have provided them test samples which show these issue, but I am not sure if any resource has been put to address this.
Currently I use spirit classic and boost serialisation on AIX. I am very keen to move to spirit v2/Qi .
Thanks for taking this on!
So its also critical for me that IBM does address the issue at some point in the near future.(performance of spirit classic AST is really bad)
I will contact Michael Wong and request that they look into this issue(Spirit V2) or make the compiler available to you. However their are no guarantees. If there any progress , I will report back on this mailing group.
In the past I have been in contact with the IBM compiler group regarding serialization. I should say they have been very helpful and have invested efforts to make sure that serialization compilers and passes all tests with their compilers. I know this for a fact as a specific group of test failures related to "export" functionality were resolved due to their efforts. That is the main reason that I don't want to see this platform regress with 1.45 Robert Ramey
