as for anything still working on VC++6.0, I'm already on record as saying boost should drop this ancient compiler.
There's another compiler which I'm porting boost to that is mostly bug-to-bug compatible to that from VC6 and that is the one supplied with embedded VC4. I believe that this is currently the main platform for win CE development, so unfortunately this compiler is far from dead.
I am utterly baffled as to what "they" are thinking at Microsoft. This is one time they have really flipped their collective lids. Releasing SP6 was bad enough, but this "piece of work" they call VC4 is completely uncalled for. To borrow a phrase from Prostestnik(sp) the Vogon, "Death's too good for them."
If there was a good alternative, I'd switch any moment, but I'm afraid there isn't.
