<h2>Compiler Support</h2>
Boost.MultiArray was designed with compiler support in mind.
Interface compromises were kept to a minimum, but efforts were
made to account for C++ Standard compliance issues in compilers
that were popular at the time the library was written. That said,
Boost.MultiArray has been tested with the following compilers:
<ol>
<li> Gnu C++ Compiler v2.95.2 (compile with <tt>-ftemplate-depth-50</tt>)
<li> Gnu C++ Compiler v3.0.2
<li> Kuck and Associates C++ Compiler v4.0f
<li> Microsoft Visual C++ v6.0 sp5
<li> Comeau C++ Compiler v4.2.45 beta 2 (libcomo beta 14)
<li> Intel C++ Compiler v5.0 (with MS lib v6.0 sp5)
<li> Metrowerks CodeWarrior C++ Compiler v7.1
</ol>
Boost.MultiArray is known to NOT work with Borland C++ v5.5.1.
Support for this compiler is forthcoming.
<h2>Future Work</h2>
The following is a list of work that is intended for the near future
-- following the initial addition of the library to the Boost
distribution:
<ol>
<li> Pursue and document performance issues related to compilers and
implementation.
<li> More comprehensive examples of using the library components.
<li> Extensive rewrite of the user documentation to make it more accessible.
</ol>
