OK apparently it's just a leftover from the VC++6.0 days. (or maybe early VC7)
IF one doesn't set the option to "disable language extensions" auto_link will work just fine. I'm personally puzzled as to why we still need the "language extensions" to use the boost library (since I altered auto_link.hpp on MY system to allow ANY _MSC_VER >= 1300 and it appears to be functioning) I DO note there is a comment in visualc.hpp that says /Za problem with VC7
OK, I that was lack just lack of testing time on my part - the auto-link code hasn't been tested with /Za, so I don't know which compilers (vc6/7/7.1 and Intel etc) support it in strict mode, when I get more time I'll look into it, Thanks, John.
