A huge effort has been made to port the library to as many compilers as possible.
|
|
|
|
|
The results of the test-suites can be found <a href="http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/developer/range.html">here</a>.

Full support for built-in arrays require that the compiler supports class
|
2004-08-24 15:58:01 +00:00
|
|
|
template partial specialization. For non-conforming compilers there might be a
|
|
|
|
|
chance that it works anyway thanks to workarounds in the type traits library.

|

|
Notice also that some compilers cannot do function template ordering properly.
|
|
|
|
|
In that case one must rely of <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="boost_range.html#range_result_iterator"><code >range_result_iterator</code></a>
|
|
|
|
|
and a single function definition instead of overloaded versions for const and
|
|
|
|
|
non-const arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So if one cares about old compilers, one should not pass rvalues to the
|
|
|
|
|
functions.

For maximum portability you should follow these guidelines:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
do not use built-in arrays
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
do not pass rvalues to <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="boost_range.html#begin"><code>begin()</code></a>, <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="boost_range.html#end"><code>end()</code></a> and <a href="utility_class.html#iter_range">
|
|
|
|
|
<code>iterator_range</code></a> Range constructors and assignment operators,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
do not rely on ADL:
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
if you overload functions, include that header <i>before</i> the headers in this
|
|
|
|
|
library,
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
put all overloads in namespace <code>boost</code>,
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
