C++ Builder 2009 has been recently launched and there are some claims about its having much better Boost support than previous versions of the product (see for instance http://tinyurl.com/5r2yxu or http://tinyurl.com/6zjnvx ).
Does anyone have first-hand experience of C++ Builder 2009 and can verify these claims? It'd be nice if we could have a regression test runner for this product.
C++ Builder 2009 comes with a prebuilt version of Boost 1.35 for which support is indeed much improved in the latest compiler. Note however that this is possible thanks to extensive patches that tweak existing Borland workarounds to cater for removed bugs and improved standard compliance. I have agreed to help merging into trunk the patches developed by CodeGear and I plan to start committing in the next few days.
