Hello Robert,
Yes, your're right. But this preprocessor macro is used only in one place of the whole boost, namely in serialization library. RR> RR> LOL - that amazes me. I guess I'm just lucky. RR> Shame on me. Some more libraries actually uses it (math, graph and python). First time I have checked not all boost but only part that is used in my project.

Its not that there's a RR> reluctance to fix things, its just that by the time on considers all RR> the reasons that things are the way they are, it isn't obvious how RR> to fix something. Yes, I understand. In a mean time I've found own solution for the problem, I wrote a script that fixes library in the way I need after downloading from cvs prior to adding to my project :). RR> P.S. want to hear something funny? After going through all this RR> codewarrior RR> compiler doesn't build programs which use the serialization export RR> functionality. This is due to a compiler feature which removes all RR> code not RR> explicitly referenced by name. That is, an overzealous RR> optimization. RR> Heroic efforts have failed to resolve this issue for this compiler. RR> Arrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh. It is sad. I also have experinced many "funny" things when fought with vc7.1 :). One good thing I heard (rumours may be) that MS uses boost for regression tests of their new compiler, it raises hope in my breast :). Regards. -- Vyacheslav E.
