+ The library has a few functions that require the creation of a library
file (mostly to_string, from_string functions). Most library users can make
effective use of the library WITHOUT building the library, but simply including
the required headers. If the library is needed, the Jamfile in the build
directory will produce a "static" library (libboost_date_time) and a
"dynamic/shared" library (boost_date_time) that contains these functions.

+ The Boost Date-Time library has been built and tested with many compilers

+ Unfortunately, the VC8 compiler has some issues with date-time code.
+ The most serious issue is a memory leak which was introduced into the
+ VC8 standard library basic_stream code. Date-time has code has been
changed
+ to avoid this as much as possible, but if you are using the legacy IO
option
+ (NOT the default with VC8) then the issue can still arise. See the

+ In addition to the problem above, some versions of the VC8 library have
limited
+ the range of allowed
+ values in the <code>std::tm</code> structure to positive values. This
was a new
+ restriction added in the VC8. The effect is that dates prior to the year
+ 1900 will cause exceptions. There is, unfortunately, no easy workaround
for
+ this issue. Note that the new 64bit version of the VC8 compiler
+ does not appear to have this limitation.

In particular, a lack of support for standard locales limits the ability
of the library to support iostream based input output. For these compilers a
set of more limited string based input-output is provided. Some
compilers/standard libraries with this limitation include:

<bridgehead renderas="sect5">Visual Studio & STLPort</bridgehead>
<para>There is a known issue with Visual Studio (7.0 & 7.1) and STLPort.
The build errors typically make reference to a type issue or 'no acceptable
conversion' and are attempting to instantiate a template with
<code>wchar_t</code>. The default build of STLPort does not support
<code>wchar_t</code>. There are two possible workarounds for this issue. The
simplest is the user can build date_time with no wide stream/string etc. The
other is to rebuild STLPort with wchar_t support.
