Let me know what you think, and enjoy :-)
Looks great, thanks for implementing this. A couple of questions:
- Is it possible to use it to conditionally compile parts of the libraries? My gut feeling tells me that it should... - Is it possible to add other checks, not covered by Boost.Config? Either by adding such checks in the library scope or by some other means?
I'm asking because I have conditionally compiled parts in Boost.Log that depend on whether the compiler supports SSE/AVX and message compiler. I also have to compile tests to detect that, and I'd be glad to simplify it somehow.
BTW, there are also a few similar test in Boost.Context to detect target architecture. I shamelessly hijacked those test in Boost.Log.
