[Boost-users] Visual C++ 2005 (8.0) support

Hi all,

did someone test boost 1.33 with Visual C++ 2005(8.0)? I am wondering how I can compile the
library using jam. Should I use VC++ 7.1 option?

Another question. I derived an iterator from the iterator_facade template. As I have recently
found out VC++ 8.0 did not support friend template classes, e.g.

template<class ....>
class my_type
{
  template <class> friend class my_type;
  ...

};

This will not work in VC++ 8.0. Did you know about this issue? Should this be filed as a bug at MS?

With Kind Regards,
