Rene,
Here is my assessment of the status of the serialization library as it relates to the Metrowerks compiler.
all versions of CodeWarrior C++
CW two-phase lookup threw me for a loop. It took me long time to really understand this. Now that I do, I'm strongly convinced that it's a really bad idea. I don't know if its true - but I think I heard that it was implemented in order to make template export work - which looks like another bad idea to me. Oh well.
Give it a chance to sink in. It's a good idea even if you ignore export because it reduces the chance that a template's meaning will change based on definitions that follow it, allows syntax checking before instantiation, and adds rigor. <snip>
CW < 8
I believe that these versions will pass 100 %
I wouldn't count on it. CW 7.x couldn't handle the "sizeof() trick", so *lots* of basic TMP things (like is_convertible) fail there. Of course, maybe you're sure that none of these things are used...? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
