This is exactly our situation. Our target applications actually run on an embedded coldfire board. At this point, we're constrained to a gcc-2.95 derived toolchain, no stlport, and no boost ... on the target platform. As time allows, we will be looking into the later toolchain and uClinux distributions. For now we use STLport to support our development environment, simulation, and testing. STLport assertion failures are fairly rare occurrances, but well worth the investment when they do happen. ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost

Additionally, Visual C++ 7.1 (aka .NET 2003) also comes with decent (working) implementation of standard library, and considering the dynamics of new STLPort versions (quite slow lately), I don't see a point in using STLPort any more for newer MS compilers. VC 6 is another story as STLPort is the only sane standard library implementation. Drazen ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost

Since we are using boost/stlport/gcc-3.3.1... 1) What kind of resources does it take to run the regression tests? 2) Would it be helpful if we ran them? Could the community make use of our test results? How? So far we aren't actually using a great deal of boost; threads and a shared pointer or two IIRC. ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost

[boost] stlport & gcc support
All, Just a question I thought of while looking at the Boost regression test results. It appears that stlport is only used with gcc 2.95.3 (and in Windows with Intel's C++ compiler and MS C++ 6.0). Is boost moving away from supporting stlport? Or are the regressions not being run for some other reason? Just curious, thanks, TJ ps. On a related note: do people have pointers to documentation on what bugs exist in stlport 4.5.3, i.e. what gcc has fixed? -- Trey Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighborhood after dark." -- Dick Gregory ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
