Finally ... fair test for preprocessor is if it preprocesses its own code. That makes wave to crash with "unexpected exception caught." Various sets of -P and -D options make it to crash in various places. I did not manage to find a good set of options so it does not crash. How to compile debug version of wave with vc7.1?

bjam "-sBUILD=<debug>" ...

?

Without debugging it is hard to further track down what is going on there. I tried the wave in boost 1.33.0.

Frankly speaking, I haven't done this for a long time. So I tried today and got several errors/warnings reported by Wave (which I have to investigate further), but I didn't get any segfault! I'll report on this list with my findings.

Could you please elaborate on which compiler you used to generate Wave, which command line options did you use?

I completely rebuilt wave from the scratch (VC7.1) and I'm now able to cleanly preprocess the wave code itself. The warnings mentioned above occur only when --variadics isn't specified, but I didn't investigate this further. Just in case you're using VC7.1 here are my command line options: -I. -SC:\CVS\boost -SC:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC7\INCLUDE -D_WIN32 --long_long --variadics HTH Regards Hartmut
