Thanks for that.

So, if looks like requiring a minimum value for __BORLANDC__ of 0x610,
as I have in the patch I posted, is reasonable, right? That's the most
recent Borland release. And support for codegear should not change. I
notice codegear.hpp contains this check:

 // CodeGear C++ Builder 2009
 #if (__CODEGEARC__ <= 0x613)

which is the wrong value.

Does anyone have any of those compilers? What is the reported _MSC_VER
for those compilers?

codegear.hpp contains a check for _MSC_VER <= 1200, but that seems to
just be a copy+paste from borland.hpp for very old borland (likely not
0x610). I don't believe codegear 2009 reports itself as MSVC6.

Thanks,

Steve.
