Here is my take on it: 1. The current requirements for Boost libraries do advise authors of only:[1] a. "Aim for ISO Standard C++" b. "There is no requirement that a library run on C++ compilers which do not conform to the ISO standard." c. "There is no requirement that a library run on any particular C++ compiler. Boost contributors often try to ensure their libraries work with popular compilers."
You omitted an important paragraph: "Since there is no absolute way to prove portability, many boost submissions demonstrate practical portability by compiling and executing correctly with two different C++ compilers, often under different operating systems. Otherwise reviewers may disbelieve that porting is in fact practical." ___ Rob (Sent from my portable computation engine)
