Yes, it's detected first, and yes we can use BOOST_MSVC to detect "real" msvc, but that doesn't help with the Intel config:
As far as I can tell from Intels docs, all it's predefined macros are set to the same values irrespective of whether it's been installed on top of VC6, VC7, or VC7.1.
Yes, but I don't think it emulates the compiler it is installed on top of. Does it? I suppose Intel 8.0, for instance, is always VC7.1-like in the language support, even if installed on top of VC6. What "remains" of the underlying VC installation, besides the linker etc., is the (non-)standard library. But that is detectable with certainty.
[...] Yep, good idea, it just doesn't solve this issue :-(
Is this ironical? I really think it is a good idea! :) -- Genny
