Hi all,
did someone test boost 1.33 with Visual C++ 2005(8.0)?
With a pre-release of vc8, yes. VC++ 8.0 hasn't been released yet, AFAIK. Results: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/1_33_0/user/summary.html
I am wondering how I can compile the library using jam. Should I use VC++ 7.1 option?
Use -sTOOLS=vc-8_0
Another question. I derived an iterator from the iterator_facade template. As I have recently found out VC++ 8.0 did not support friend template classes, e.g.
template
class my_type { template <class> friend class my_type; ... };
This will not work in VC++ 8.0. Did you know about this issue?
All but one of the iterator library tests worked with vc8 in the 1.33.0 release: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/1_33_0/user/iterator.html so that in particular shouldn't have been a problem. That one failure has since been fixed: http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_33_0/developer/it...
Should this be filed as a bug at MS?
If you want it fixed, yes :) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
