| 32 | <h2>Compiler Support</h2> |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Boost.MultiArray was designed with compiler support in mind. |
| 35 | Interface compromises were kept to a minimum, but efforts were |
| 36 | made to account for C++ Standard compliance issues in compilers |
| 37 | that were popular at the time the library was written. That said, |
| 38 | Boost.MultiArray has been tested with the following compilers: |
| 39 | <ol> |
| 40 | <li> Gnu C++ Compiler v2.95.2 (compile with <tt>-ftemplate-depth-50</tt>) |
| 41 | <li> Gnu C++ Compiler v3.0.2 |
| 42 | <li> Kuck and Associates C++ Compiler v4.0f |
| 43 | <li> Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0 sp5 |
| 44 | <li> Comeau C++ Compiler v4.2.45 beta 2 (libcomo beta 14) |
| 45 | <li> Intel C++ Compiler v5.0 (with MS lib v6.0 sp5) |
| 46 | <li> Metrowerks CodeWarrior C++ Compiler v7.1 |
| 47 | </ol> |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Boost.MultiArray is known to NOT work with Borland C++ v5.5.1. |
| 50 | Support for this compiler is forthcoming. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | |
| 53 | <h2>Future Work</h2> |
| 54 | |
| 55 | The following is a list of work that is intended for the near future |
| 56 | -- following the initial addition of the library to the Boost |
| 57 | distribution: |
| 58 | <ol> |
| 59 | <li> Pursue and document performance issues related to compilers and |
| 60 | implementation. |
| 61 | <li> More comprehensive examples of using the library components. |
| 62 | <li> Extensive rewrite of the user documentation to make it more accessible. |
| 63 | </ol> |
