It sounds like I and many other people are going to have to stop using boost No you're not. Boost 1.33.1 will not stop working.
as many of us are still tied to this compiler whether we like it or not. We do not all have a choice as to what compiler we can use. We must make do with what we have.
You're just not going to be able to use the latest version of boost. -- Martin Bonner Martin.Bonner@Pitechnology.com Pi Technology, Milton Hall, Ely Road, Milton, Cambridge, CB4 6WZ, ENGLAND Tel: +44 (0)1223 203894

Except that, IIUC, Gennadiy said he wasn't going to drop vc6 support -- at least not yet. So the OP should be able to continue to use boost. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
