[...] VC 6.x exposes it all around, 7.0 only sometimes (but might require a slightly different workaround, see http://tinyurl.com/3x6so), and it's fixed completely in 7.1. [...]
Thanks. Is there any reason why someone would use 7.0 instead of 7.1? Is it reasonable to not support 7.0?
Well, I guess this answer is: it depends. If you're already supporting MSVC 6.0, then probably the work needed to extend it to MSVC 7.0 is reasonably low. My hunch is that, although there's no compelling reason to keep using 7.0, sometimes developers are not in the position to make this sort of decisions, and stick to whatever management force them to. BTW, I'm in need of a tester for Boost.MultiIndex in MSVC 7.0 and CWPro 8.3. I don't have access to any evaluation version of these as they're rather outdated. Volunteers most welcome.
