Dear all, It looks like boost::mpi::detail::mpi_data_type_cache() (in boost/mpi/detail/mpi_datatype_cache.hpp) is missing a declspec declaration, causing unresolved external symbols when trying to give a specialization of is_mpi_datatype. Is my use case (Windows, dynamic, "simple" types that qualify for is_mpi_datatype) unusual so that this hasn't been picked up before? Or am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance for any help Pete
