The latter. It is a documented flag, primarily designed for packagers and/or distributors. | Could you test the compiler version and set it appropriately ABI. Yes, you can. | As you guys are probobly already aware of is that this | will lead to a ton of questions (if people read enough to know the flag | excists) and bug reports due to ABI imcompatibilities. Yes. Unfortunately. An executive summary is that -fabi-version is a flag designed to compensate lack of enough testing before releasing the compiler. Thus, users can now set which versions of bug compatibility they want. A recipe for confusion. The alternative was to release more and more ABI incompatible compilers. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
