Re: [boost] Why does MSVC6 give this message

I'm only guessing, but many of the "time-saving" options allowed by MSVC
just break mysteriously when used. I suggest turning off things like
"program database for edit and continue" and doing a clean rebuild.

--------------------
I've got a problem with boost.python and the compiler is driving me crazy :(

vr3.cpp contains a function that adds methods to a module.
I've got vr1..vr6 that add to this python module.
All six files contain:
try
{
 //code here
}
 catch(...)
 {
  python::handle_exception(); // Deal with the exception for Python
 }

Sometimes the linker message goes away when I out-comment lines and
sometimes only when I remove the try..catch lines.

I got no idea what goes wrong. anyone else maybe?
