in dinkumware.hpp I think it should be // C++0x headers implemented in 520 (as shipped by Microsoft) (assuming 520 is the version shipped with VC10 and that VC11 will correct and bump _CPPLIB_VER ?) Note _CPPLIB_VER <= rather than < 520 for other similar macros #if !defined(_CPPLIB_VER) || _CPPLIB_VER <= 520 # define BOOST_NO_NUMERIC_LIMITS_ MAX_DIGITS10 #endif
I can't speak for other compilers using Standard Library implementations licensed from Dinkumware, but for VC you should never look at _CPPLIB_VER. Instead, you should check _MSC_VER, which corresponds to VC's major version number. (VC8 is 1400, VC9 is 1500, VC10 is 1600, VC11 is 1700.) Especially don't look at _HAS_TR1 (already removed!) or _HAS_CPP0X (will be removed as soon as I can claw it out of our build system and tests). Separately, Dinkumware has told me that 8 really is the right answer here, not 9. I know exactly one thing about floating point - to treat it with respect and fear, mostly fear - so I'll need to ask for more info. Thanks, STL
