Hi,
I apologize if this is a FAQ - I couldn't find much on other compilers
I am interested in using boost with a compiler for a DSP - The compiler is somewhat archaic - I'm not using RTTI or exceptions (the compiler supports them but it is currently broken) - the STL has old iostreams and no doubt I will find some other musty corners. I don't have any illusions about getting the whole of boost to compile but I'm sure there are some large pieces that will work OK. I have no problem doing the port myself.
RTTI is pretty useful, and I think quite a few libraries rely on dynamic_cast at least once. For instance Boost Logging Lib ( http://torjo.com/log2/ ) relies on it once - I guess you could get 'round it. I guess the 1M$ question is : why do you need that specific compiler?
