fails to compile on VC6. If nobody is interested in these old compilers, fine. But it seems odd to be shipping work-around code that doesn't work. Should all the PTS work-around code be removed? Or can it be patched up without too much effort?
It seems easy to be patched. (You can install free evc4 if you want a free vc6 compiler.) Well, I guess Eric is angry because Boost.Foreach doesn't compile with vc6. I too am anxious because msvc-7.1 regression results are invisible.
Oh, I'm not angry. It's true, I discovered the problem by doing my once-yearly testing of foreach on vc6, but if we decide to drop vc6 support, I won't shed a tear. If someone submitted patches for vc6/evc4, that'd be nice and I bet Thorsten would appreciate it. <nudge> Beman hit the nail on the head. It's probably time to start phasing out the old work-around code, but I agree it's not critical for 1.35. You're right about msvc-7.1 results, though. It's a release compiler, and we have no test results for it. Hrm. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
