Hasty patch to get some code shared with an MSVC using colleague, so it just solves my immediate problems the dirtiest way possible <g>
I'm not sure what BOOST macros might otherwise cover these same issues, or what to change in config. Changes to format_class.hpp [from boost 1_29_0] Patch pt 1: template<class Ch, class Tr> class basic_format { #if defined( __BORLANDC__ ) // AJM patch for BCB5 typedef Ch Ch_type; typedef Tr Tr_type; #endif ... Patch pt 2: // pass arguments through those operators : template<class T> basic_format& operator%(const T& x) { #if defined( __BORLANDC__ ) return io::detail::feed<Ch_type, Tr_type, const T&>(*this,x); #else return io::detail::feed<Ch, Tr, const T&>(*this,x); #endif } #ifdef BOOST_OVERLOAD_FOR_NON_CONST template<class T> basic_format& operator%(T& x) { #if defined( __BORLANDC__ ) return io::detail::feed<Ch_type, Tr_type, T&>(*this,x); #else return io::detail::feed<Ch, Tr, T&>(*this,x); #endif } #endif Patch pt 3: [around line 110] // This might be better handled by patching config for this compiler? #if !defined( BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS ) && !defined( __BORLANDC__ ) -- AlisdairM _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
