I ported large parts of Boost 1.32 to embedded Visual C++ 4 some time ago. One of the major changes was because the included cross compilers reported _MSC_VER somewhere in between 1200 and 1202. IOW, a plethora of cases that checked ==1200 or >1200 failed to work for a few of them.
I already once submitted a patch, but it hasn't been incorporated yet, so here is one against CVS from this afternoon. The changes I made were mostly mechanical:
My mistake, I think I promised to apply that, but never got around to it.
MSC_VER <= 1200 -> MSC_VER < 1300 MSC_VER == 1200 -> MSC_VER < 1300 MSC_VER >= 1300 -> MSC_VER > 1200
That last one is wrong,
They're all wrong (missing leading underscore on _MSC_VER) ;-)
I assume you meant to type:
MSC_VER >= 1200 -> MSC_VER > 1200
No, that doesn't make sense either. It changes semantics for versions of _MSC_VER that were known to us before Ulrich pointed out the existence of 1202. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
