The last version of Boost that successfully builds on Solaris x86 32-bit with the Sun compiler (toolset sun) was version 1.43. Are there any plans to fix this toolset going forward?
Hello, fellow obscure compiler user. What errors does the build produce, and which standard library are you building against: the native one or stlport? The last time I touched anything related to SunStudio it was fixing Boost.Array (which had some trouble understanding the syntax of functions returning array references). As for the toolchain in general, I believe it's not a first-tier compiler, which tends to lead to that errors detected by test runners may be ignored for a decent while. People tend to test their code on machines that they have immediately available and rely on the test runners (and their somewhat unorthodox configurations) to give a decent image of how their code fares. A decent way to get it fixed is to file proper bug reports, preferably with fixes attached. If it's really broken, you might have to file bug reports with standalone test cases against your compiler vendor. -- Lars Viklund | zao@acc.umu.se
