b) acc - looks pretty good - but all DLL versions fail
I cannot help much here, but I can confirm that as of June 28, dll tests were working OK on this compiler, and in fact only 14 tests used to fail: http://lists.boost.org/boost/2005/06/29357.php so I guess something has changed later on that breaks this platform.
g) last time I checked SunOS, DMC and vacpp failed to build the library due to failures in code outside the serialization library. Generally I have marked these compilers as not usable.
Toon Knapen and I have beeing doing some offlist research on vacpp these days, and came close to being able to use Boost.Serialization, but finally gave up. I summarize here our findings in case you want to take on the challenge (now or after 1.33) * Currently Boost.Serialization builds in vacpp. * When trying to use it, the linker complains about undefined symbols like this: ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: boost::serialization::version<boost::serialization::nvp<const unsigned long>
::value
this seems to be related to a defect in the compiler by which it needs static const data to be defined outside their class: http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/boost/msg30039.php the problem can be remedied by defining BOOST_NO_INCLASS_MEMBER_INITIALIZATION, though I'm not sure this is a safe move (see http://lists.boost.org/boost/2004/07/7289.php). * We locally defined BOOST_NO_INCLASS_MEMBER_INITIALIZATION for vacpp 6.0 (this change hasn't been commited to the CVS) and the aforementioned problems went away, but then other type of undefined symbols appeared: ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .boost::archive::detail::basic_archive_impl::lookup_helper(const boost::serialization::extended_type_info*,boost::shared_ptr<void>&) ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .boost::archive::detail::basic_archive_impl::insert_helper(const boost::serialization::extended_type_info*,boost::shared_ptr<void>&) ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .boost::archive::detail::basic_pointer_iserializer::~basic_pointer_iserializer() ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .boost::archive::detail::basic_pointer_iserializer::basic_pointer_iserializer(const boost::serialization::extended_type_info&) ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .boost::archive::detail::basic_pointer_oserializer::~basic_pointer_oserializer() ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .boost::archive::detail::basic_pointer_oserializer::basic_pointer_oserializer(c and here I gave up. I hope this info is of some help in case you decide to work on making Boost.Serialization work for vacpp. Best, Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
