metacomm regressions: which borland version
The metacomm regression result show an error for borland compiler: http://tinyurl.com/2ql6s which reads: Assertion failed ..... config_file.cpp(144) : isTmplSpecSym(sym) .... I've just installed CBuilderX Personal, and tried to compile the library with that compiler. The interesting thing is that compiler has 5.6.4 as version string, the symbol __BORLANDC__ is defined to be 0x0564, but I don't get that error, and get some other errors. What could be the reason? - Volodya

The base CBX Personal uses the exact same compiler as C++ Builder 6. There is an update on Borland's site for installing the new 6.0 version of the compiler for CBX. However I honestly don't feel that Borland is working on C++ any more and would not be surprised if they just dropped the product instead of letting it die a slow death.

Hmm.. then the different results are a mistery for me.

Why do you think so? And does it mean there's no point in supporting borland? - Volodya

Borland has dropped support for C++ Builder. Their new product, CBX, is essentially a beta-version product with little functionality and grossly overpriced. They promised letters detailing how they would support their C++ Builder customers but never delivered them. Essentially they are doing nothing to support C++ anymore. I personally would not count on them to deliver anything in the C++ arena but you are free to support whatever they have of course. For myself, as a former C++ Builder customer, I will not be wasting any time supporting them in any way in the future unless they drastically change their commitment and attitude to the C++ language. But I very much doubt this will happen.
