This might sound discouraging, but I consider any library that doesn't work fully with GCC 4.9, Clang 3.5 and MSVC14, which are already bleeding-edge compilers, to not be suitable for real use
Its important to support more than one compiler, but, I think, it is perfectly acceptable if it doesn't support bug-ridden compilers such as MSVC. Boost is about pushing innovation in C++, and we can't let a compiler that is over half a decade behind the rest of the industry hold back that innovation.
This. MSVC is hopelessly behind, and we shouldn't let them pull the C++ community down any longer. Moving on. Boost has always had a tradition of pushing the compiler vendors toward compliance. Any library that compiles on two compilers has been acceptable in the past. I think that's a good benchmark. -- Eric Niebler Boost.org http://www.boost.org
