I #defined BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_LIB in my header file and the program compiles and works fine. So what is the purpose of this definition.
Contrary to what the name might suggest, it just turns autolinking off.
How is it that we haven't renamed these macros to something more suggestive of their meaning by now?
Let me try a less rhetorical approach: suppose we rename these things? (We can leave code in place to achieve backward compatibility if necessary).
How about:
BOOST_DATE_TIME_AUTOLINK_OFF and for the global: BOOST_ALL_AUTOLINK_OFF
I would prefer BOOST_DATE_TIME_NO_AUTOLINK and for the global: BOOST_NO_AUTOLINK or BOOST_DATE_TIME_DISABLE_AUTOLINK and for the global: BOOST_DISABLE_AUTOLINK -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
