Hi Grennadiy, thanks for your help so
far.
I might just switch to the no
libraries solution and wait for 1.34 binaries to be built, since I don't
have time on my schedule to dig deeper into the boost build.
Correct me if I'm wrong - if I chose to use the
synchronous exceptions version of the libraries now on Boost Consulting website,
the core libraries ought to work fine, it is just that I ought to expect runtime
exceptions to terminate the execution of any code I write using it. Ie
please confirm that there's no reason to think that boost-test, etc might
not function with this exception model.
Just on the no-libraries solution. I
can't find anything documented about any special compiler settings to get it to
work with vc80.
When I set /EHsc, the popped up exception
occurs. When I set /EHa, the program _appears_ to finish fine, but on
closer inspection of the console output, I discover the access violation message
is there in the console. But I guess this is not what I should get with my
no-libraries test. What am I doing wrong here?
