boost 与各平台和编译器的兼容性测试

boost 库最新版本1.34.1,在windows平台下对VC7.1（vs2003）和VC8（vs2005）支持比较好，但对vc6支持比较差。由于各平台差异，boost可能经常存在编译不能通过的现象。另外boost采用jam来编译，也为boost推广设置了障碍。所以近来感觉boost已经冷下去了。boost的开发者在VC6出编译问题时不是去解决问题，而是直接推荐采用vc8。

例如，其入门教程里面的例子，在VC8中编译一次通过，而在VC6中竟引起编译器错误：

#include  < boost / lambda / lambda.hpp >
#include  < iostream >
#include  < iterator >
#include  < algorithm >
int  main()
... {
    using namespace boost::lambda;
    typedef std::istream_iterator<int> in;

    std::for_each(
        in(std::cin), in(), std::cout << (_1 * 3) << " " );
}

在VC6中编译，出如下错误：

Compiling ...

网上面没有真正解决了这个问题的。

网上找到一篇测试报告，对boost 1.340各toolset在各环境下进行了测试，最上面是平台，第二行是测试者，第三行是测试时间，第四行是测试编译器。原文地址：http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/1_34_0/user/summary_release.html
