What's the timescale for 1.33 at present?
I have some VC-8 specific fixes for type traits that hook up the compiler's intrinsic type traits support into our traits classes: these patches make VC8 the first compiler to "just do the right thing" with every single trait. That's a big milestone IMO!
Assuming VC8 will be release before Boost-1.34 (which seems likely), I'd like to commit these to cvs, but won't do so if we're too close to release (as long as there's at least 10 days or so to go, then there's enough time to check for possible regressions - especially as only one compiler should be affected - and there are no regressions for me locally with gcc/vc++/borland/intel).
Thoughts?
Given the current state of the test matrix and the low risk/high reward, I'd say that it's worth it, especially if you can add it in a way that is easily turned off at the flip of a switch/comment/define. Where is the instrinsic support documented, BTW?
