Boost verion lookup

Hello. How can I find out which version of Boost is installed on my system? Currently I do it on the simple way of opening the corresponding boost documentation installed with the boost library and looking at the "latest news" entry. But it isn't a really proper way, is it? What is the right way then?:) Ewgenij -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS. Alle Infos und kostenlose Anmeldung: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/freemail

[filesystem][Windows][1.34.0] Paths not getting normalized correctly.
by Jurko Gospodnetić 01 Jul '07

Hi. Boost.Filesystem's path::normalize() function does not remove the trailing '\\.' element and my guess is that it should. I'm using Boost 1.34.0 on Windows XP sp2 with MSVC 7.1. Some expected normalization examples: '.' --> '.' '\\' --> '\\' 'aaa\\..' --> '.' 'aaa\\bbb\\..' --> 'aaa' 'aaa' --> 'aaa' Some unexpected normalization examples: '\\.' --> '\\.' (expected '\\' ) 'aaa\\..\\.' --> '.\\.' (expected '.' ) 'aaa\\..\\.\\.' --> '.\\.' (expected '.' ) 'aaa\\..\\.\\.\\.' --> '.\\.' (expected '.' ) 'aaa\\bbb\\..\\.' --> 'aaa\\.' (expected 'aaa') 'aaa\\.' --> 'aaa\\.' (expected 'aaa') Hope this helps... Best regards, Jurko Gospodnetić

I've just double checked my boost headers directory and I confirm the use of 1.33.1. I didn't find any reference of TR1 headers. > > > By the way, do you plan to adapt your headers for Boost 1.33.1? > > Nope, too much to do, too little time, it'll become part of Boost 1.35 or > 1.36 so there's no point in supporting earlier versions. [Marc Viala] OK. I'll look of your library when I'll do the boost upgrade. Thanks for your help & best regards Marc Viala
