Yes.
Does anyone care if typeof supports these compilers?
And yes. IIUC typeof uses a bug-feature on those compilers that makes the implementation trivial, is that correct? In that case, IMO, there's little reason not to support them.
I didn't mean to drop this. The bugfeature is also applied to vc-7_1, which makes it relevant even without tools mentioned. My question was actually caused by some code in LVALUE_TYPEOF that needs to use ifdefs based on whether or not partial template specialization is supported, and whether or not a function can return a reference to array. I lately run into a problem with gcc 4.0.2, that doesn't seem to like the workaround we used (returning pointer to array), so I was looking to somehow reduce the number of ifdefs to a manageble amount. Also, if the regression tests no longer run for these tools, how can one guarantee the support? Or is this temporary, and these tools are going to re-appear in the regression tables? Regards, Arkadiy
