date-time has a number of regession test failures when it is built in the dll mode on windows. They look like this:
Which looks like it is complaining about the BOOST_DATE_TIME_DECL macro. I'm wondering if in config/platform/win32.hpp we need to at como to this little macro that controls the definition of BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC.
#if !defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC) # define BOOST_HAS_DECLSPEC #endif
Since no one replied, I did some additional digging. It looks like we need to switch the --windows option on if we want Comeau to accept __declspec options. Same conclusion Vladimir Prus brought up a couple weeks back -- no one responded. http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg67100.php If you look at the information on the follow 2 pages you might become convinced that this should be possible. http://www.comeaucomputing.com/4.0/docs/userman/clang.html http://www.comeaucomputing.com/4.0/docs/userman/options.html There was also a thread back on September 2003 discussing whether this was supported yet by Comeau http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg52701.php It would be nice if someone from Metacomm could patch the --windows flag into the build system for the next round to see if it would allow Comeau to work with dll's on windows. However, it doesn't seem like there's too much interest in fixing this issue. So if no one responds I'll just mark the tests as expected failure and move on -- I've already spent more time on this than I should have... Jeff
