Apologies for the length of this post so far. I have two ensuing questions:
1. Is using Sun's C++ compiler and STL implementation with boost a bad idea? (unfortunately, due to other library dependencies, we cannot use gcc and/or stlport)
Using Sun compiler is a bad idea ;o) It used to be that I was not able to compile the most simple basic things with it(like shared_ptr). I do understand though that it may be your requirement.
2. If we provide some workaround code for this particular problem, is it likely that it would be accepted
90% that it will. Please provide the patch. Be aware though that I believe trunk has different problem with this compiler at the moment. If you can help me with it, I would really appreciate it. Gennadiy
