Is there a place where known problems for libraries/compilers are stored?
For instance, trying to use boost/time we hit a problem with MSVC7 and lexical_cast unless we enable the "wchar_t as a native type" option. While this may be good practice <g> it is not the default, and caught us out (and the error is none-too helpful)
I can imagine this sort of issue is discovered and re-discovered on a regular basis, and wonder where to look for such known issues before using list bandwidth. There is a "Known Issues" section on the wiki (see the link in the auto-appended .sig) which is intended to document these common "gotchas". I haven't looked at it for a while, so I don't know how up-to-date it is.
If that issue's not documented there, would you mind adding it? -- Jim
