as you probably know there's a Service Pack for Visual Studio 2005 which fixes a significant number of bugs.
Where? I guess most of these are not in the compiler, right?
No, there are quite a few compiler fixes. See: http://tinyurl.com/ypk367 _MSC_VER and _MSC_FULL_VER are the same for the updated C++ compiler. The build ID (where there's no macro to query it until VC2008) is different (the one needs a workaround to compile my code, the other one doesn't).
Solutions anyone?
I might be able to find an installation without service pack in order to diff the included headers, but not before monday. If the fixes were there, it should be possible to detect that then.
I was thinking about checking for this bug http://tinyurl.com/2xyvxs (seems the attachments are not disclosed by the bug tracker). And I had hoped to find someone here who knows exactly how to do it. Checking for changes in the standard library might be another option, although I didn't find a fix that's looking very promising. There's a non-SP1 MSVC8 compiler included in the Windows SDK, so there should be both versions on most Windows developer boxes... Regards, Tobias
