It is not a compile-time error, but rather a run-time error.
Ie. if I compile any program which utilises boost::to_simple_string with any
optimisation whatsoever; it simply aborts at the point where I do my
function call to "to_simple_string". That is irrespective of my using a
type date or ptime as the function argument...
I must stress again that "to_simple_string" works fine when I compile it in
Linux.
O, another question I have. Where do I disable Unicode support (wchar_t
usage in fact!) alltogether for Boost?
Previously I had great fun with lexical_cast.hpp which utilised wchar_t
versions of some of the streaming operators because I had a silly UNICODE
define as part of my project options. The solution was to use /Zc:wchar_t
project option in M$VC6.
But UNICODE defined caused problems in network browsing code I used which
`normally' returned a LPSTR instead of the LPWSTR if UNICODE is defined.
Long story. I did a temp hack in lexical_cast.hpp by
# define DISABLE_WIDE_CHAR_SUPPORT
#undef BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T
and getting rid of the redefinition of BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_WCHAR_T.
Now is there a way to do this cleanly, compile-time so that I do not need to
keep on hacking the source code?
Greetings,
Andre.

Darn; here I go replying to my own post again... Anyway; so far I have narrowed the problem down to one of optimisation. I did a debug compilation and had no problem. A moment of reflection led me to the conclusion that optimisation might have something to do with it. For the record; I am using Boost in Windows, with Visual Studio as IDE only, and the Intel 7.0 compiler. Oh; and STLport instead of Windows' crappy STL implementation.
I.e. turning on "Maximise speed" optimisation causes "to_simple_string" to fail on my build system.
I'll try to setup the simplest proggie I can to illustrate this problem.
Any thoughts?
I'm not aware of anyone else having a problem. Perhaps you can post the details of the compilation failure?
Jeff
