The poll results were suprising. I was responding specifically to the implication that it was suprising
From: David Maisonave that the percentages added to >100%.
I would have thought by now there would be more developers using 7.1/8.0 than 6.0. If Boost decides to stop supporting VC++ 6.0, or reduce support, than they're going to exclude at lot of developers.
Not really. Changing boost library version is probably less painful than changing compiler version, but I wouldn't do either without compelling reason. VC6 users can use boost 1.33.1 (or perhaps even 1.34), and that isn't going to suddenly stop working just because 1.35 doesn't support VC6. Remember that although most developers are using 6.0, they are almost certainly using it on projects which are in maintenance mode. -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 203894
