Hello,
On http://asio.sourceforge.net/ among the listed supported systems/compilers is Win32 using Visual C++ 7.1 and Visual C++ 8.0. Are there plans to support Visual C++ 6SP{5,6} also? What are the difficulties/obstacles for this to happen?
IMO Chris should not waste even a single moment of his time on VC++ 6.5. I'd really like to see asio progress to the point where Chris can write a full proposal for TR2. That is a lot of work to do between now and the October deadline. That work is a far more useful expenditure of Chis' effort, IMO. Download VC++ 8.0 Express edition. It is free. It is highly C++ standards compliant. The IDE is also much improved compared to 6.5. Time to move on. --Beman
