Does boost ever claim support for abi compatibility with different compiler settings? I thought not.

Boost has *never* sought binary compatibility - it is too much of a brake on change. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
