The message looks complete here.
Let me clarify -- the message goes like this:
Now Joe User writes his app on the Fedora system and links Boost.DateTime using the familiar -lboost_date_time switch. He builds the app and tries it on both his Fedora system and the friend's Debian one. What is going to happen?
BTW, ....
So either "What is going to happen?" is a question to recipients of the email (and I don't know what exactly is being asked), or Domenico meant do tell what is going to happen, but did not.
The only reason why said app won't work on one of the systems is possibly binary incompatibility between gcc/libstdc++/libc, which is probably not what's being discussed.
I was referring to this reason. I find that fully decorated names are a wanted feature to achieve sane binary portability. The case I mentioned might even run but crash subtly. If instead the toolset was encoded in the library name, app would not even run, saving the user from the debugger. This is a binary compatibility issue induced by current --layout=system. -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://www.dandreoli.com/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50
