Installation of the final 8.0 (after beta 1 and 2) has caused me some confusion because the output build logs don't contain the full compiler version. For example using a post build event with the test suite, as recommended (- strongly see PS below) --build_info=yes includes this info: Platform: Win32 Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ version 8.0 STL : Dinkumware standard library version 405 Boost : 1.33.0 The macro _MSC_FULL_VER is 140050215 looks like version 1400 build 50215 Would it be useful to decode in boost/config/compiler/visual.hpp this into version 8.0 and build 50215? (Or?) A new macro BOOST_COMPILER_BUILD ? So that various releases can be distingushed? Paul PS The post CMD.EXE was started with '\\hetp3\i$\boost_1_33_0\libs\test\build\msvc71_proj' as the current directory path. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory. Running 5 test cases... Which misses showing the full log report that IS shown with an autorun (which is any case much more convenient and recommended by Gennadiy at /boost_1_33_0/libs/test/doc/usage/msvc_net.html etc I found a MS article http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=156276 about the message '<UNC path>' is an invalid current directory path. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory. The article does not seem accurate and I have queried it with MS. I have also previously seen with the logging library (proposed). -- Paul A Bristow Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal, Cumbria UK LA8 8AB Phone and SMS text +44 1539 561830, Mobile and SMS text +44 7714 330204 mailto: pbristow@hetp.u-net.com www.hetp.u-net.com
