Ralf, either you're a genious or it's pure coincidence that you are not hit by the bug in the iotraits header file. :-)
I like to take the best of everything, that would make me a pure genious. Thanks! :)
This is pretty bad because quite a few boost libraries depend on more than only the C names as specified in the standard. (thread and fs at least, IIRC, but I think there are more)
In the hot days of Boost.Python development we were very careful to use only ANSI features. Anything else is non-portable and bound to break somewhere, sooner or later. I.e. I think the libraries that don't compile with -std strict_ansi should be fixed.
pthreads is an extension to what's required by ANSI. I think that might make Boost.Threads impossible. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
