Re: [Boost-users] Visual C++ 2005 (8.0) support

Dave, thanks for your answer. As I can see from MS Website Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 have been released last week for download. http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/ With Kind Regards, Ovanes Markarian On Mon, October 31, 2005 17:48, David Abrahams said:

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 :)
