The way I view it is that in 1.33.1, you'd specify vc_8_0 as toolset, and in 1.34 you have to specify msvc-8.0 to achieve same effect. The behaviour with plain "msvc" may be a bug, or feature, or doc issue, depending on your point of view. So what's your point of view? Anyone else?
As a Boost user, my point of view that if the docs says I can use plain "msvc" and use autolink, Where does it say that? If that's the case, that's doc bug. In /more/getting_started/windows.html in the Boost 1.34.0 beta package. Specifically look at section 5.2.4 and section 6.
This should **just work**, and it's possible (probably easy) to implement. Sorry, I just can't accept that it's the fault of the documentation.
Especially given that "--toolset=gcc" behaves as expected by users, i.e. as if one had done "--toolset=gcc-x.y". -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo
