I have a question that may appear somewhat strange-). I am working with Partial Template Specialization and in particular how VC++ 7.1's upcoming compiler supports it 100%. To that end, I would like to look at and compile Boost code that makes particular use of this 1) to make sure it compiles 2) show it working with VC++ 7.1, 3) Able to grok in fairly short period of time and use in small pieces of demo code. I see a lot of interesting possible things in Boost but 2 things that came to mind: Smart Pointers (scoped_ptr) and concepts. Are there better ones for my purposes and/or better "consumers" of partial templates?
I don't know if this answers your question, but VC7.1 correctly handles all of boost as far as I know - in fact boost was used as a test bed for early alpha compiler versions. John Maddock http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/index.htm
