Now that we have both documentation and a script, a number of people have been able to get the tests running on various platforms. Perhaps those that care about Sun could search the archives for the message from the Mentor Graphics folks, and ask them to give the tests a try. --Beman ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost

We don't really have a notion of "fully supported" here, except on a library-by-library basis at the discretion of individual developers. That said, the level of support for Sun compilers is likely to depend on two things in the future: 1. Sun's willingness to address the serious bugs in their compiler implementation which prevent much progress at all from being made. Given a reasonably well-conforming compiler, little specific attention should be needed in order to get most things working well. 2. Someone stepping up to run regular regression tests on Sun, and someone at Boost getting them set up to do it. I believe someone at Mentor Graphics volunteered to run the tests, but I think we may have dropped the ball on our side.

I've noticed that toolsets for the Sun WorkShop C++ compiler, both with and without STLport support have appeared in boost/tools/build/. Does anyone on the list have any indication as to when this compiler will make it to "fully supported" status? I've seen previous mailings that suggest that support for the WorkShop compiler is in progress; if other list members are actively following this up then I'd be happy to join in (as deadlines permit of course!).
