OK - a) The document re:auto-link indicates that not all platforms support it. That leaves me wondering what happens when the macros are included in the library source code an its compiiled? Is there an error message. Does everything work with the same as w/o auto-linking macros? b) I notice that Comeau doesn't show up in the test matrix. This made me wonder if the configuration for the comeau compiler has been updated to consider the auto-link idea. In fact, since Commeau is a "pre-compiler" its not even clear to me that can be fit in. c) When I build with comeau. The auto-link macros seem to be undefined. This makes me wonder if the config files ro comeau need to be altered to take this into account. d) The above makes me wonder if comeau config files have not been kept up. So my question is: Have comeau config files been kept up with changes required to support auto-link. If so, why is not comeau appearing in the test matrix? Robert Ramey David Abrahams wrote:

I've made source changes to accommodate Comeau.
Now even static libraries fail to compile on with this compiler.
Is this the intention or am I missing something.
Robert,
There's so little context in this message that it's almost impossible to imagine anybody giving a useful answer. Whose intention? Which libraries fail to compile? What kind of failures do you see?
I'm sure you understand that nobody at Boost intends for all library compilations to fail, so it's hard to even understand your question.
