Last year there where two long threads about Boost Warning policy. If I'm not wrong nothing was concluded. I think that we can have two warning policies: one respect to the Boost users and one internal for Boost developement.

The problem I foresee is that many warnings won't be triggered or useful until templates are instantiated by users with specific types. _____ Rob Stewart robert.stewart@sig.com
Yes, you are right. The user wanting to improve Boost could build her/his product defining BOOST_ENABLE_WARNINGS, but s/he can avoid all the Boost warnings by default. This should help some companies having a strict warning policy to adopt Boost. Vicente
