<h2>Portability</h2><a name="Portability" ></a>
<p >
Full support for built-in arrays require that the compiler supports class
template partial specialization. For non-conforming compilers there might
be a chance that it works anyway thanks to workarounds in the type traits
library. </p>
<p >
Notice that some compilers cannot do function template ordering properly. In
that case one must rely of <code >result_iterator_of</code> 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.
<p>
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>.

<p>
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>
