[OT] Enabling exported templates with Intel for Windows.

Hi, I know this is OT, but I can't think of a better place to ask. Intel on Linux supports exported templates with the -export and -export_dir options. Supposedly, Intel for Windows also supports exported templates, as an "undocumented and unsupported" feature.(http://www.comeaucomputing.com/iso/promises.html) Could someone tell me how to enable export for Intel on Windows, and how to specify the location of the template implementations? I couldn't find anything about it on the web. Is it a big secret? Jonathan

Maybe --export and --template_directory as in http://www.edg.com/docs/edg_cpp.pdf ? Bertolt

Those are the options como uses. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for Intel. Thanks for the suggestion.

Normally the EDG options are hidden behind -Qoption, so maybe: -Qoption,c,--export and -Qoption,c,--template_directory HTH, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

and
-Qoption,c,--template_directory
Thanks. -Qoption,c,--export takes care of part of the problem. Now icl doesn't complain about unrecognized options or about sytax errors involving "export." But it doesn't generate ".et" files, and isn't able find the template implementations. Also, -Qoption,c,--template_directory isn't recongized, but this shouldn't matter for simple cases when everything is in one directory. Jonathan
