Hi Folks, I'm using the sun compiler: CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 Patch 111685-15 2003/05/14 I need to generate a high performance logging process and immediately thought of the boost filesystem service. I have downloaded boost_1_33_0. However, I'm getting a lot of compiler problems using the templates which I've since realised are common when using this compiler. i.e. errors relating to boost::iterator_core_access::equal and copious warnings: "/product/3rd_Party/boost/boost_1_33_0/boost/iterator/detail/facade_iterator_category.hpp", line 189: Where: Specialized in boost::detail::facade_iterator_category_impl<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag, const _STL::basic_string<char, _STL::char_traits<char>, _STL::allocator<char>>, const _STL::basic_string<char, _STL::char_traits<char>, _STL::allocator<char>>&>. "/product/3rd_Party/boost/boost_1_33_0/boost/mpl/eval_if.hpp", line 41: Where: Specialized in boost::mpl::eval_if<boost::detail::is_iterator_category<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag>, boost::mpl::identity<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag>, boost::detail::facade_iterator_category_impl<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag, const _STL::basic_string<char, _STL::char_traits<char>, _STL::allocator<char>>, const _STL::basic_string<char, _STL::char_traits<char>, _STL::allocator<char>>&>>. "/product/cs_common/3rd_Party/boost/boost_1_33_0/boost/iterator/detail/facade_iterator_category.hpp", line 202: Where: Specialized in boost::detail::facade_iterator_category<boost::bidirectional_traversal_tag, const _STL::basic_string<char, _STL::char_traits<char>, _STL::allocator<char>>, const _STL::basic_string<char, _STL::char_traits<char>, _STL::allocator<char>>&>. My question is quite simple: Is it feasible for me to use boost's filesystem utility with this version of the Sun compiler? Should I persist?

You can get a good sense of where things stand in the CVS main trunk by searching for "Sun" at http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/summary... 1.33.0 may be ahead of or behind those results, but should be somewhat correlated. Most likely we don't have results for the 1.33.0 release because Sun's compiler was still considered to be too buggy to be officially supportable.
