On a more general note, is Intel on Linux/Darwin a "supported" Boost compiler? Unless I've missed something, Intel doesn't provide a standard library, and I find it a bit troubling that they ship their compiler to use GNU's standard library by default. Intel is far behind GCC in C++0x support, and newer versions of the GNU standard library have been making increasing use of GCC's C++0x support. Unless icc starts shipping with an older version of libstd++/use a compiler neutral standard library such as the Apache standard library/starts to catch up with GCC's C++0x support, I imagine that using icc to compile C++ code that makes use of the standard library will become increasing difficult.
Both icc and clang use libstdc++ on linux, mainly to ensure you get binary compatibility with libraries compiled with the system compiler. libstdc++ is increasingly using C++0x code in their headers, and until icc and clang catch up, there might well be problems. Chris
