In select_compiler_config.h there are a number of compiler identification macros of the form BOOST_CXX_SOMECOMPILER. I can find nowhere in boost where these are being used. What is the purpose of these macros ?
No idea. They were added in 2006 by Gennaro Prota, who is no longer around. They're totally useless, anyway, as they are always set to 0. I vote that we remove them.
+1 from me - they're not used anywhere and are undocumented/tested - so I've taken them out. John.
