The compilers have to support it in theory, but in practice some don't, and BOOST_NO_FUNCTION_TEMPLATE_ORDERING is the macro that indicates (absence of) support. I guess the POSIX mandatory options are similar in spirit, i.e. something expected to go away as implementations catch up. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
