I'm making solid progress since switching to the Intel 6.0 compiler. Thanks Dave. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Abrahams" Newsgroups: gmane.comp.lib.boost.user Sent: Saturday, August 24, 2002 10:26 PM 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...

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
