Hello all,
There has been some discussion on the development list about dropping all support for old C++ compilers. This will allow us to remove a lot of workarounds and simplify the code but before doing so it's a good idea to find out if anyone is still using them. Using boost with these compilers will cause a compile error in the config library (you can work round that using a custom configuration, but it's unlikely you'll be able to get much to work).
Good :)
The currently proposed versions for removing support are:
Digital Mars 8.40 and earlier Visual C++ 7.0 and earlier GCC 3.2 and earlier Intel C++ 5.0 and earlier
Intel is now 12 and gcc is 4.x, coudln't we reach a bit further on those ? ICC before 8 is rather obnoxious to work with and so is gcc pre 4.x
