Hello,
I want to add support for libc++, the c++ standard library attached to clang, to boost. Fixes required should not be attached to clang, as clang can use various standard libraries. Is there a standard way I should add the library, or just add the macro where needed.
The best macro to use for detecting libc++ is _LIBCPP_VERSION. Hopefully the changes required will be minimal.
Unfortunately, libc++, as of a few weeks ago, was having problems with a simple hello world program:
While libc++'s support for linux and windows is poor, on Mac OS X it is complete and works great. I am already compiling large c++ programs using a bug-fixed boost, using clang and libc++ on the mac. So far I have only found one issue in libc++, already fixed, and one issue in clang, which should be fixed soon. If people want to work on getting libc++ working on linux and windows, that is great. Once they work, the configuration for libc++ in boost might need extending, based on operating system. Chris
