When I compile anything that includes is_abstract.hpp I get a compiler ICE with VC 7.0
since is_abstract.hpp is included by type_traits.hpp it means that a large part of boost 1.31 release candidate 2 is now uncompilable on this platform.
Boost.Config should be appended with new macro (BOOST_NO_SUPPORT_FOR_DR337 or better name) and is_abstract.hpp conditionally included.
Current regression test results can be used to check out which compilers handle is_abstract<>.
Robert is right that this sort of change should never be made so late in a release cycle. It's especially too late in the cycle to be adding the sort of complexity you're proposing above. IMO we should take it out of the release branch. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
