http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost-regression/developer/iterator.htm l show mostly failures for the sunpro platform. These failures inhibit the serialization libraries from building - (and probably others as well). Are there any plans to accomodate this compiler? If not, should it continue to be tested?
This compiler fails so many tests, turning it off might make sense.
There are newer versions of SunPRO than the one I am using (I have CC: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C++ 5.3 Patch 111685-20 2004/03/19) which may be better, but I'm not in a position to upgrade.
Anyone out there in Boost land have a newer version of SunPRO and care to run the regression tests?
I do have access to the Workshop 8 / SunPRO 5.5 compiler at work and am planning to invest some time into trying to get more parts of boost to work with both the 5.3 and the 5.5 compilers. I'll see if I can find the time to run those tests tomorrow to see if they pass or not. Success so far has been rather limited, mainly due to the fact that "making boost work" isn't part of my real job description :-), however I've now got at least the smart pointer library working properly with both 5.3 and 5.5. More bits and pieces will hopefully follow over time; This depends somewhat if my employer would be kind enough to provide me with access to the compiler on my home SUN as I don't fancy spending too many nights in the office...
