Currently, I can use smart pointers successfully. I also tried to use boost\date_time libraries and I found most of them can not be used with eVC++. I got "unknown CE compiler" error message. So, I suppose I will get that message in most cases.
As I revealed there is a compiler detection mechanism in file boost\config\compiler\visualc.hpp but I couldn't find out how exactly it is used.
I'd like to identify all Boost libraries which can not be used with eVC++. Could anyone give me a few hints about how to start such identification? Are there any macro definitions or can I expect that visualc.hpp can help me in this task?
I suspect there was a bug in visualc.hpp that causes that #error to be generated in almost all cases with eVC++ (it's been fixed in cvs), so try commenting out the offending #error. After that if it compiles then it'll likely work (but try running a test program or two to make sure). Unfortunately we've never had anyone run the tests regularly on embedded platforms so your mileage may vary: so any feedback will be gratefully received! John.
