I'm making solid progress since switching to the Intel 6.0 compiler. Thanks
Dave.

Subject: Re: BGL and Intel v6 compiler?
It's got perfectly good support for partial specialization. In fact, at its
core, it's one of the most conforming C++ compilers going. The biggest
problem is that by default it's in a mode which emulates many of VC6's bugs.
You can turn those off, but you probably need STLPort since the VC6/7
standard libraries that Intel 6 uses depend on those bugs. I'm not an expert
in how to do that, so you'd have to ask someone else...
Regards,
Dave

Lack of partial template specialization and MSVC 6.0 "Internal Compiler
Error" has me looking for alternatives. Specifically, I'm considering
moving
some BGL-dependent code into a library and compiling it with the Intel
v6.0
compiler for Windows which can produce object code and libraries that I
can
link into a MSVC 6.0 project. Can anyone comment on the Intel compiler's
support for partial specialization - I'm not finding much except number
crunching benchmark comparisons.
Thanks - Chris
