It sounds like I and many other people are going to have to stop using boost as many of us are still tied to this compiler whether we like it or not. We do not all have a choice as to what compiler we can use. We must make do with what we have.
It is true that programmers targeting embedded platforms (such as the SH4) don't have a choice about upgrading. I can think of at least one company that might accept support contracts to keep Boost viable with vc6.5. The only question in my mind is whether library maintainers would accept the patches or the company would have to maintain a fork. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
