Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #4097: limited support for detecting platform https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4097 <p> I some assembler code is required by a library - boost.build has some limited support to detect platform features. For instance it is necessary to know for which architecture the lib should be build. The builtin properties &lt;architecture&gt; and &lt;instruction-set&gt; are optional properties (so a developer can not rely on it). Additinaly the binary format has to be known. Suggestion: new builtin property &lt;linkage&gt; with values like elf, windowspe, mach-o. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4097 Trac 1.4.3 k-oli@… Tue, 13 Apr 2010 18:38:34 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4097#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4097#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> &lt;address-model&gt; is required too (not as optional)! </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>viboes</dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:36:59 GMT</pubDate> <title/> <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4097#comment:2 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/4097#comment:2</guid> <description> <p> How is this a showstopper? </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> </channel> </rss>
