What's your point? And what's your name? And doesn't that violate some sort of NDA? -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com

At the MVP summit in Seattle last week, MS gave out alpha (?) versions of their next compiler. Presumably the OP is an MVP. I don't think it violates any NDA. It is however, rather laconic and not terribly useful since the suggested release date for the product is about a year away and we can sure that one of the things MS will do between now and then is resolve as many boost problems as they reasonably can.

What makes you so sure that resolving boost problems is a priority for MS? It took them years to even acknowlege that there was a C++ standard.

Well for one thing, they actaully call out support for 'Boost', 'Loki', etc on the back of the box for VC. Of course, last time I checked the regression tests VC7.1 was at 100% so it doesn't seem that there's much to resolve... Jeff

lack of two-phase template lookup, number of small issues and "language extensions mode" enabled by default. B.
