15// Compiler check:
16//
17// Historically, Spirit supported a lot of compilers, including (to some
18// extent) poorly conforming compilers such as VC6. Spirit v1.6.x will be
19// the last release that will support older poorly conforming compilers.
20// Starting from Spirit v1.8.0, ill conforming compilers will not be
21// supported. If you are still using one of these older compilers, you can
22// still use Spirit v1.6.x.
23//
24// The reason why Spirit v1.6.x worked on old non-conforming compilers is
25// that the authors laboriously took the trouble of searching for
26// workarounds to make these compilers happy. The process takes a lot of
27// time and energy, especially when one encounters the dreaded ICE or
28// "Internal Compiler Error". Sometimes searching for a single workaround
29// takes days or even weeks. Sometimes, there are no known workarounds. This
30// stifles progress a lot. And, as the library gets more progressive and
31// takes on more advanced C++ techniques, the difficulty is escalated to
32// even new heights.
33//
34// Spirit v1.6.x will still be supported. Maintenance and bug fixes will
35// still be applied. There will still be active development for the back-
36// porting of new features introduced in Spirit v1.8.0 (and Spirit 1.9.0)
37// to lesser able compilers; hopefully, fueled by contributions from the
38// community. For instance, there is already a working AST tree back-port
39// for VC6 and VC7 by Peder Holt.
40//
41// If you got here somehow, your compiler is known to be poorly conforming
42// WRT ANSI/ISO C++ standard. Library implementers get a bad reputation when
43// someone attempts to compile the code on a non-conforming compiler. She'll
44// be confronted with tons of compiler errors when she tries to compile the
45// library. Such errors will somehow make less informed users conclude that
46// the code is poorly written. It's better for the user to see a message
47// "sorry, this code has not been ported to your compiler yet", than to see
48// pages and pages of compiler error messages.
