Hi, my name is Michael Wong. Some of you already know me from the C++ standard committee. I am designated by IBM as the representative for submitting Boost changes that affect our XL C++ compiler (previously called VisualAge C++) back to the CVS line. My backup is my colleague Christopher Cambly. Over the last 2 releases of the XL ++ compiler (v7 and 8) we have been striving for as much compatibility as possible. The V7 compiler supports Boost-1.30.2 and the V8 compiler supports 1.32.0. We maintain the latest XLC++ V8 results testing with 1.32.0 on AIX/RHEL4/SLES9 here: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2239&context=SSJT9L&dc=DA420&dc=DA410&dc=DA440&dc=DA430&uid=swg27006911&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en I know you are planning the 1.34 release. I would like to submit changes that we have verified back to the CVS line before you cut the release.
