Although GCC 4.6 isn't released yet, I've been getting good results on a non-Boost project with the weekly MinGW build. See http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?call=fortran for the prebuilt MinGW binaries. When I try to run the Boost Filesystem V3 regression tests against this build, however, all the tests fail that involve catching an exception. These tests pass for numerous other compilers, and for other versions of GCC. Since 4.6 is getting close to release, I'd like to see the problem fixed. But I don't have enough knowledge of GCC and MinGW to know where the problem is, or whether this is already a reported bug. Is there anyone out there who knows enough about GCC and MinGW to tell if this bug is already known? --Beman
