>This patch allows to compile regression tools with MSVC 6.
First, thanks for going to the effort to work through the various issues.
I have very mixed feelings about the patch. Obviously it is great to extend the regression reporting tools to work with more compilers, but there just hasn't been any demand from users.
I hate to see the source code degraded to cope with a compiler version that is now two releases and 14 months out-of-date, particularly when the latest version is *much* more standards conforming, and both of the newer versions do fine with the reporting tools. Looking forward, I also don't want to have to support VC++ 6.0 for any future changes.
So please don't take it personally, but I'm not going to apply the patches unless someone comes forward with more rationale for supporting reporting tool compilations with VC++ 6.0.
