Hi all, Paul A. Bristow wrote:
Can we produce any collective Boost wish to help this to happen?
I've always felt that Boost is uniquely positioned to create a C++ acid test similar to those done for browsers[1]. A Boost.Acid test could verify compilers' ability to expand trickier macros, support timely compilation of complex templates, or even implement new C++11/14 features. The decision of what to test would be controversial, but it could be a marketing point for more standards-compliant compilers and put additional pressure on any compilers which are lagging behind.
