Doesn't Walter update DMC++ quite often? Would it be better to just report bugs to him and wait for the fixes? I have no major objection to the patches; I'm just slightly concerned about crufting up the codebase to add support for a previously unsupported compiler if it will happen without changes in a few weeks anyway.
I've made a few bug reports concerning type traits - although mainly concerning the bugs that I haven't worked around. You can see them here:

I'm a little hesitant when it comes to overload resolution because I don't fully understand the rules, especially the subtleties required for the type traits library. Having said that, the main problem is the way it overloads variable argument lists, and I can probably get my head around that. Would anyone be willing to help me out by writing an explanation of what's required? I can put together examples showing exactly what fails.
It's pretty simple. a (...) parameter is always a worse match than anything else that matches, including template parameter types. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
