I've investigated what it takes to compile auto-link with commeau.
It seems that the following in config/platform/win32.hpp contains:
#if !defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC) \ # define BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC #endif
which results in BOOST_HAS_DECSPEC being defined. However, I get a compile error when BOOST_???_DECL is expanded to _decl(dllimport) or _decl(dllexport) . So my proposed solution is: to replace the above with:
// Comeau seems to recognize declspec but doesn't recognize // dllexport and dllimport. So we can't use it #if !defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC) \ && !defined(__COMO__) # define BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC #endif
This will suppress auto-link stuff for this compiler.
I would like to check in this change. Does anyone know of a reason why this is not a good idea?
Maybe. IIUC whether Comeau supports declspec on Windows depends on whether it's being used in its "strict ANSI" mode or its "ANSI plus extensions specific to the platform" mode. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
