Indirectly. interlocked.hpp is included by shared_ptr.hpp on Windows. Comeau doesn't compile it even without --a, because it doesn't seem to recognize __stdcall. And since the functions that interlocked.hpp attempts to import from the Windows kernel are indeed __stdcall, this makes it impossible for interlocked.hpp to do its job.
This can be fixed by defining BOOST_SP_DISABLE_THREADS for the Comeau toolset.
Are you sure? I tried very simple program using shared_ptr and it's OK in non-strict mode, but does not compile in strict mode. The only difference is --a switch. In strict mode it chokes on interlocked.hpp header, but apparently the very same header is accepted in non-strict mode. Which would mean that without --a switch Comeau knows how to deal with __stdcall. Actually I'm pretty sure that wihout --a como can compile program than includes Windows headers, I tried it more than once. Or maybe I misunderstood something and some different experiment would be relevant (but not the one shown below)? Regards B.
