Hello,

Right away I have a problem. It seems that by default STLPort 5.0 with VC 7.1 uses an unsigned short for wchar_t (I could be wrong, the information is kind of thin). I've looked at the config stuff and its not clear that config and STLPort address this issue. That is, its not clear whether the Boost Macro for this feature is guarenteed to be in sync with the way that STLPort 5.0 is built.

The tests don't make it clear how the STLPort is built in this regard.

Ideally, the config system would be able to set the appropriate BOOST macros in accordance with the particular build of STLPort library. I'm not sure whether or not such a thing is possible.

VC 7.1 uses a typedef to unsigned short by default. You can change this behaviour with the compiler option /Zc:wchar_t. In Boost.Build I use '<native-wchar_t>off' to get VC's default behaviour. I don't know enough about config to figure out an automatic way to handle this. HTH, aa -- Andreas Ames | Programmer | Comergo GmbH | Voice: +49 69 7505 3213 | andreas . ames AT comergo . com
