There are some failures for date_time with CW-9 (and similar errors in CW-8):

They have this as the reason:
"[ J. Garland ] Some older compilers are confused by the template code here. These are new features to date-time in 1.33 and there is no plan to backport to these non-compliant compilers."
Now I don't particularly think of CW-9 as an "older" compiler. So is that really the reason? Or is it just that it hasn't been investigated?
I just took a look at http://tinyurl.com/9y4td and it looks to me like an error in the date_time library. The compile time error is: Error : illegal operands 'std::basic_istringstream<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>' >> 'boost::date_time::date_duration<boost::date_time:: duration_traits_adapted>' And I can't find an operator >> (istream&, date_duration&) in namespace boost::date_time, though I can find one in boost::gregorian. I suspect that this would rightly cause the error. I haven't looked at any of the other failures. -Howard
