+ <h4>Supported Compilers</h4>
- <li>Shared library (dll) support has been added
- for the generated Wave libraries.</li>
+ <p>Boost is tested on a wide range of compilers and
+ platforms. Since Boost libraries rely on modern C++
+ features not available in all compilers, not all
+ Boost libraries will work with every compiler. The
+ following compilers and platforms have been
+ extensively tested with Boost, although many other
+ compilers and platforms will work as well. For more
+ information, see the <a href=
+
"http://www.boost.org/regression/release/user/";>regression
+ test results</a>.</p>
- <li>The overall error handling has been
- improved. It is now possible to recover and
- continue after an error or a warning was
- issued.</li>
+ <p><b>New for this release</b>: Support for building
+ with the newest STLport-5.0 was added. The support
+ includes building with MinGW Runtime 3.8 plus
+ STLport-5.0 improved to support wide character
+ operations. Apple GCC 4.0, HP Tru64 C++, and
+ Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 are supported platforms. We
+ have added an experimental autoconf-like
+ <code>configure</code> script for Unix-like systems:
+ run <code>configure --help</code> for more
+ information.</p>
- <li>Support for optional comment and/or full
- whitespace preservation in the generated output
- stream has been added.</li>
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="http://developer.apple.com/";>Apple
+ GCC</a> 3.3, 4.0 on Mac OS X.</li>
- <li>The Wave library now performs automatic
- include guard detection to avoid accessing header
- files more than once, if appropriate. </li>
+ <li><a href=
+
"http://www.borland.com/us/products/cbuilder/";>Borland
+ C++</a> 5.6.4 on Windows.</li>
- <li>Full interactive mode has been added to the
Wave
- tool. Now the Wave tool can be used just like
Python
- or Perl for instance to interactively try out
your
- BOOST_PP macros. Additionally it is now possible
to
- load and save the current state of an
interactive session
- (macro tables et.al.).</li>
+ <li><a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/";>GNU C++</a>
+ 2.95.3 (with and without STLport), 3.2.x., 3.3.x,
+ 3.4.x, 4.0.x on Windows, Linux and Solaris.</li>
- <li>The overall performance has been improved by
upto
- 40-60%, depending on the concrete files to
process. </li>
+ <li><a href="http://h30097.www3.hp.com/cplus/";>HP
+ C++ for Tru64 UNIX 7.1</a>.</li>
- <li>Support for new pragmas has been added
allowing to
- control certain library features from inside the
- preprocessed sources (partial output
redirection,
- control of generated whitespace and #line
directives).</li>
+ <li><a href=
+
"http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/compilers/index.htm";>
+ Intel C++</a> 8.1, 9.0 on Windows, Linux.</li>

- has been added. </li>
+ <li><a href="http://www.metrowerks.com/";>Metrowerks
+ CodeWarrior</a> 8.3, 9.4, 9.5 on Mac OS X and
+ Windows.</li>
- <li>This version also includes a number of bug
- fixes and usage improvements. For a complete
- list of changes, see the libraries <a href=
- "libs/wave/ChangeLog">change log</a>.</li>
- </ul>
- </li>
+ <li><a href=
+ "http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/";>Microsoft
+ Visual C++</a> 6.0 (sp5, with and without STLport),
+ 7.0, 7.1, 8.0. Note: Boost does not support the
+ non-standard "Safe" C++ Library shipping with
+ Visual C++ 8.0, which may result in many spurious
+ warnings from Boost headers and other
+ standards-conforming C++ code. To suppress these
+ warnings, define the macro
+ <code>_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE</code>.</li>
