Boost : |

The compiler is proprietary, but well documented. If you don’t have an AIX machine, it also runs under Linux.
Boost list run by bdawes at acm.org, gregod at cs.rpi.edu, cpdaniel at pacbell.net, john at johnmaddock.co.uk
This is a later version of the ‘xlC’ compiler that has support in the boost build, however the only interface that supports c++11 is via the xlclang++ front-end available in version 16.

I believe you can get a free trial license, good for a month by asking for one.
The xlclang front-end is nominally command line argument compatible with clang, but there are differences.
I would be more than happy to collaborate with you and test on AIX, just reach out to me off-list.
Thanks,
Rob Boehne

We are using the IBM xlclang++ compiler front-end, and boost's current build system can't do anything with it. Fixing that looks like a fairly large project, so I am planning on waiting until CMake can build it.
I recently added a toolset for the "circle-lang" compiler. It took about 2 hours. If it's possible for me to get access to that IBM compiler, and documentation, I can create a toolset for it fairly quickly.
