Hi there, This is not exactly a user question, but I was wondering if a couple of boost developers could comment on the support of VS6 in boost. How much time consuming is it ? Are there plan to actually drop it at some point ? Were there cases where you had to provide a duplicate implementation (partial specialization, template template parameter, SFINAE...) with slight modifications, therefore making the boost code more difficult to maintain ? How much did this compiler impact the design of boost API / internals ? Thanks for comments, -- Mathieu Ps: I know there are other buggy compilers out there that are also 'supported', feel free to also add comment for another difficult to support compiler.
