What I'll do anyway is to disable this workaround test for all compilers that support partial specialization.
I'm still highly suspicious that something is wrong whether or not the test is enabled. What could cause that code to be compiled by CW?
I think it's line 19 in libs/range/test/partial_workaround.cpp, which says:
#define BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION 1
for all compilers, unconditionally.
This causes a few failures for GCC 3.4, because it takes code paths that aren't meant for it.
Well, that's just wrong. The right way to handle this is to write: #if BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION // the test code you have now #else // something simple that always passes. #endif As an optimization you can mark the test not to be run on most compilers. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
