I stumble on another problem when trying to compile the test library with IBM/VisualAge (vacpp).
Apparantly vacpp has a problem on lines 97,98 and 99 of boost/test/detail/basic_cstring/basic_cstring.hpp.
Basically the problem is this: this file declares a class
template < class CharT > class basic_string { public: typedef basic_string<CharT> self_type ;
self_type& trim_left(self_type exclusions = self_type() ) ; // line 97 } ;
On second thought, I would like to change the above signature into: self_type& trim_left(const self_type& exclusions = self_type() ); // line 97 Taking the argument by const-reference does not pose a problem for the vacpp compiler and AFAICT it's even better to take a const-reference as copying the argument by value. toon
