Re: [boost] Metrowerks: member template specialization problem

Here's my reduced test case: ... template <> //inline bool derived<wchar_t>::getline(std::string&);// {return false;}

If I give the specialization a definition, it compiles and runs correctly at least on Pro 9. Sorry I don't have Pro 8 loaded to test on.

Thanks for testing this. I need to decide if I really want to support borland and VC7, and if not, I'll just apply this workaround. Otherwise, I'll have to give up member specialization :-(

Btw our FE engineer has gotten back to me, confirmed this is a bug, and it has already been fixed in our latest compiler (post-Pro 9, not yet released).

Good to know! Thanks, Volodya
