Hi,

I'm a member of Sun C++ frontend team.

Could you describe why Sun CC + boost makes you very sad? What version of Boost and Sun C++ do you use? What kind of problem is the most annoying for you?

If you can afford it, g++ is a useful option. But yes, Sun CC + boost makes me very sad.

The main beef is that I can't (or couldn't) use boost, a most popular C++ library, with a default install of suncc. If suncc+stlport is a viable option, it should be default (imho). Backward compatibility aside of course (which makes all other points moot usually). That's it.
