I was thinking of just a patch release to fix the one lexical_cast file,
but a full release would work too.  Have we ever been done a small patch
release to fix a couple critical bugs?  I know we've discussed it, but
I don't ever remember one...

The Variant Library has been added, so it would be 1.31.0. And, yes, I 
think we should start talking about a schedule.

I seem to recall someone else running across this and fixing it with
the lexical_cast upgrade.  Unfortunately, I can't find this in the 
archive at the moment...

If this turns out to be the case, I wonder if we should consider
releasing 1.30.1 with the fixed lexical_cast?

It could be a couple of things going wrong. First, there were some problems
with lexical_cast that were discovered after 1.30 was shipped, so they are
fixed in the CVS, but not in the file release. Unless you've done it, I
suggest getting the latest file from the CVS.

Secondly, unless you already have it, try enabling wchar_t as an intrinsic
type (option "Zc:wchar_t"). Otherwise, it will treat unsigned char and
wchar_t as synonyms.

[boost] date_time, lexical_cast and MSVC 7.0

2003-06-23 Thread Philip Miller
Hello,
Since this is my first posting to the Boost List, let me first say
thanks for Boost.  It looks like a great resource!  My first use of
Boost will be the date_time library, followed by the file_system
library.

Now, the reason for my posting.  I am using MSVC 7.0 and am unable to
compile the date_time library tests.  Compiling time_parsing.hpp gives
me an error in lexical_cast, where there is no output operator for the
lexical_cast compiled for the function
parse_delimited_time_duration.But the test regression results for
date_time indicates that all tests pass for MSVC 7.0.  What am I doing
wrong?

I sincerely appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Phil

For what it is worth: I changed the template parameter for the
lexical_cast from unsigned short to int, and everything seems to compile
and all date_time tests pass. But I would prefer to use an "official"
Boost release and not my own hacked version.  Plus I would like to
understand why my system is encountering different results than the
boost regression test indicates.
