Poll: Do you use Spirit 1.6?
Hallo, This is a poll I started on the Spirit General mailing list which I'm reposting here as suggested by Joel de Guzman. I apologize to those who already read this message there. I'd be interested to know how many of you are currently using Spirit 1.6.x and with which compilers, to gauge the effort that might be required to take on maintenance of the 1.6 branch. Currently I'm using Spirit 1.6 with Borland's BCB6 and BCB2006, in conjunction with Boost.Serialization. Thank you, Nicola Musatti

I have used Spirit 1.6+ with BCB6. However all of my latest work is with VC 8 ( VS 2005 ) so I do not need any further updates to Spirit 1.6+ unless it is a bug fix. My own viewpoint is that the Spirit 1.6+ branch should only involve possible bug fixes and no new functionality. Hopefully if Borland ever gets its act together regarding their C++ compiler in the future, there will no longer be a need to support Spirit 1.6+ for Borland.

We use spirit 1.6 with BCB6, mainly for serialization, but we have our own in-house serialization library which has XML output which uses it too (this will be replaced by boost::serialization when we get the time to do so). Cheers Russell

It seems we're maintaining 1.6 solely for Borland users? Are there no Spirit users on VC6/7 or g++2.95.3 ? Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

Well, people using VC++ or g++ have had a few years to upgrade to a compiler version that supported 1.8, while this still isn't an option for Borland users. On the other hand I suspect that my poll's results are not very representative, given that the 1.6 zip file was downloaded some thirty times in the last seven days. Cheers, Nicola Musatti
